FIELD

The following disclosure relates generally to a health monitor and, morespecifically, to a physical activity and workout monitor.

BACKGROUND

Approximately 133 million Americans currently suffer from at least onechronic health condition. This number is expected to rise toapproximately 165 million by the year 2020. This deterioration in healthcan be attributed largely to a sedentary lifestyle with little to nophysical activity. For example, lack of sufficient physical activity canincrease the risk of developing diabetes, hypertension, colon cancer,depression and anxiety, obesity, and weak muscles and bones. Inaddition, recent studies have found that extended periods of inactivity(e.g., sitting at a desk), can lead to serious health risks, such as anincreased risk of a heart attack.

SUMMARY

The present disclosure relates to systems and processes for monitoringattributes of a user's physical activity or inactivity, and forgenerating user interfaces for displaying the same. One example userinterface can include a first indicator that represents an attribute ofa user's physical activity that is of a first type and a secondindicator that represents an attribute of a user's physical activitythat is of a second type. The first type of physical activity can be aphysical activity that meets a first set of criteria and the second typeof physical activity can be a physical activity that meets a second setof criteria. The user interface can further include a third indicatorthat represents an attribute of a user's inactivity, which can includethe user not performing a specified type of physical activity or notperforming a physical activity that meets a third set of criteria.

The present disclosure also relates to systems and processes formonitoring a user's workout, and for generating user interfaces fordisplaying the same. One example process can include monitoring a user'sphysical activity during a workout (e.g., a session of physical activityor exercise) using activity sensors selected based on the type ofworkout. The process can further include generating a user interface fordisplaying one or more attributes of the workout. One example userinterface can include a first indicator (e.g., a visual representation)that represents a first attribute of the workout and a second indicator(e.g., a visual representation) that represents a second attribute ofthe workout. The process can further include providing notificationsduring the workout to notify the user of significant events associatedwith the workout.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The following description sets forth exemplary methods, parameters andthe like. It should be recognized, however, that such description is notintended as a limitation on the scope of the present disclosure but isinstead provided as a description of exemplary embodiments.

The present disclosure relates to a device for monitoring a user'sphysical activity or inactivity, and for generating user interfaces fordisplaying the same. The device can monitor various attributes of theuser's physical activity and can generate a user interface fordisplaying some or all of the monitored attributes. One example userinterface can include a first indicator (e.g., a visual representation)that represents one or more attributes of a user's physical activitythat is of a first type and a second indicator (e.g., a visualrepresentation) that represents one or more attributes of a user'sphysical activity that is of a second type. The first type of physicalactivity can be a physical activity that meets a first set of criteriaand the second type of physical activity can be a physical activity thatmeets a second set of criteria. In some examples, the second set ofcriteria can encompass the first set of criteria, resulting in thesecond type of physical activity being a subset of the first type ofphysical activity. The user interface can further include a thirdindicator (e.g., a visual representation) that represents one or moreattributes of a user's inactivity, which can include the user notperforming a specified type of physical activity or the user notperforming a physical activity that meets a third set of criteria.

The present disclosure also relates to a device for monitoring a user'sworkout, and for generating user interfaces for displaying the same. Thedevice can monitor a user's physical activity during a workout (e.g., asession of physical activity or exercise) using activity sensorsselected based on the type of workout. The device can further generate auser interface for displaying one or more attributes of the workout. Oneexample user interface can include a first indicator (e.g., a visualrepresentation) that represents a first attribute of the workout and asecond indicator (e.g., a visual representation) that represents asecond attribute of the workout. The device can further providenotifications during the workout to notify the user of significantevents associated with the workout.

FIGS. 1A-1B, 2, 3, 4A-4B, and 5A-5B provide a description of exemplarydevices for monitoring a user's physical activity. FIGS. 8-14, 17-21,23, 25-39, 41-47, 49-78, 80-85, 87-88, 90-91, and 93-95 illustrateexemplary user interfaces that can be displayed on these exemplarydevices. The user interfaces in the figures are also used to illustratethe processes described below, including the processes in FIGS. 15, 16,22, 24, 40, 48, 79, 86, 89, and 92.

Although the following description uses terms “first,” “second,” etc. todescribe various elements, these elements should not be limited by theterms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element fromanother. For example, a first touch could be termed a second touch, and,similarly, a second touch could be termed a first touch, withoutdeparting from the scope of the various described embodiments. The firsttouch and the second touch are both touches, but they are not the sametouch.

The terminology used in the description of the various describedembodiments herein is for the purpose of describing particularembodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used in thedescription of the various described embodiments and the appendedclaims, the singular forms “a”, “an,” and “the” are intended to includethe plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicatesotherwise. It will also be understood that the term “and/or” as usedherein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations ofone or more of the associated listed items. It will be furtherunderstood that the terms “includes,” “including,” “comprises,” and/or“comprising,” when used in this specification, specify the presence ofstated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/orcomponents, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or moreother features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components,and/or groups thereof.

The term “if” is, optionally, construed to mean “when” or “upon” or “inresponse to determining” or “in response to detecting,” depending on thecontext. Similarly, the phrase “if it is determined” or “if [a statedcondition or event] is detected” is, optionally, construed to mean “upondetermining” or “in response to determining” or “upon detecting [thestated condition or event]” or “in response to detecting [the statedcondition or event],” depending on the context.

Embodiments of electronic devices, user interfaces for such devices, andassociated processes for using such devices are described. In someembodiments, the device is a portable communications device, such as amobile telephone, that also contains other functions, such as PDA and/ormusic player functions. Exemplary embodiments of portable multifunctiondevices include, without limitation, the iPhone®, iPod Touch®, and iPad®devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif. Other portable electronicdevices, such as laptops or tablet computers with touch-sensitivesurfaces (e.g., touch screen displays and/or touchpads), are,optionally, used. It should also be understood that, in someembodiments, the device is not a portable communications device, but isa desktop computer with a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch screendisplay and/or a touchpad).

In the discussion that follows, an electronic device that includes adisplay and a touch-sensitive surface is described. It should beunderstood, however, that the electronic device optionally includes oneor more other physical user-interface devices, such as a physicalkeyboard, a mouse, and/or a joystick.

The device typically supports a variety of applications, such as one ormore of the following: a drawing application, a presentationapplication, a word processing application, a website creationapplication, a disk authoring application, a spreadsheet application, agaming application, a telephone application, a video conferencingapplication, an e-mail application, an instant messaging application, aworkout support application, a photo management application, a digitalcamera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsingapplication, a digital music player application, and/or a digital videoplayer application.

The various applications that are executed on the device optionally useat least one common physical user-interface device, such as thetouch-sensitive surface. One or more functions of the touch-sensitivesurface as well as corresponding information displayed on the deviceare, optionally, adjusted and/or varied from one application to the nextand/or within a respective application. In this way, a common physicalarchitecture (such as the touch-sensitive surface) of the deviceoptionally supports the variety of applications with user interfacesthat are intuitive and transparent to the user.

Attention is now directed toward embodiments of portable devices withtouch-sensitive displays. FIG. 1A is a block diagram illustratingportable multifunction device 100 with touch-sensitive display system112 in accordance with some embodiments. Touch-sensitive display 112 issometimes called a “touch screen” for convenience and is sometimes knownas or called a “touch-sensitive display system.” Device 100 includesmemory 102 (which optionally includes one or more computer-readablestorage mediums), memory controller 122, one or more processing units(CPUs) 120, peripherals interface 118, RF circuitry 108, audio circuitry110, speaker 111, microphone 113, input/output (I/O) subsystem 106,other input control devices 116, and external port 124. Device 100optionally includes one or more optical sensors 164. Device 100optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 fordetecting intensity of contacts on device 100 (e.g., a touch-sensitivesurface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100).Device 100 optionally includes one or more tactile output generators 167for generating tactile outputs on device 100 (e.g., generating tactileoutputs on a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive displaysystem 112 of device 100 or touchpad 355 of device 300). Thesecomponents optionally communicate over one or more communication busesor signal lines 103.

As used in the specification and claims, the term “intensity” of acontact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure(force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., a finger contact) on thetouch-sensitive surface, or to a substitute (proxy) for the force orpressure of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. The intensity of acontact has a range of values that includes at least four distinctvalues and more typically includes hundreds of distinct values (e.g., atleast 256). Intensity of a contact is, optionally, determined (ormeasured) using various approaches and various sensors or combinationsof sensors. For example, one or more force sensors underneath oradjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are, optionally, used to measureforce at various points on the touch-sensitive surface. In someimplementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors arecombined (e.g., a weighted average) to determine an estimated force of acontact. Similarly, a pressure-sensitive tip of a stylus is, optionally,used to determine a pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitivesurface. Alternatively, the size of the contact area detected on thetouch-sensitive surface and/or changes thereto, the capacitance of thetouch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto,and/or the resistance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to thecontact and/or changes thereto are, optionally, used as a substitute forthe force or pressure of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. Insome implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force orpressure are used directly to determine whether an intensity thresholdhas been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is described in unitscorresponding to the substitute measurements). In some implementations,the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are convertedto an estimated force or pressure, and the estimated force or pressureis used to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded(e.g., the intensity threshold is a pressure threshold measured in unitsof pressure). Using the intensity of a contact as an attribute of a userinput allows for user access to additional device functionality that mayotherwise not be accessible by the user on a reduced-size device withlimited real estate for displaying affordances (e.g., on atouch-sensitive display) and/or receiving user input (e.g., via atouch-sensitive display, a touch-sensitive surface, or aphysical/mechanical control such as a knob or a button).

As used in the specification and claims, the term “tactile output”refers to physical displacement of a device relative to a previousposition of the device, physical displacement of a component (e.g., atouch-sensitive surface) of a device relative to another component(e.g., housing) of the device, or displacement of the component relativeto a center of mass of the device that will be detected by a user withthe user's sense of touch. For example, in situations where the deviceor the component of the device is in contact with a surface of a userthat is sensitive to touch (e.g., a finger, palm, or other part of auser's hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacementwill be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding toa perceived change in physical characteristics of the device or thecomponent of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitivesurface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display or trackpad) is, optionally,interpreted by the user as a “down click” or “up click” of a physicalactuator button. In some cases, a user will feel a tactile sensationsuch as an “down click” or “up click” even when there is no movement ofa physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surfacethat is physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user's movements. Asanother example, movement of the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally,interpreted or sensed by the user as “roughness” of the touch-sensitivesurface, even when there is no change in smoothness of thetouch-sensitive surface. While such interpretations of touch by a userwill be subject to the individualized sensory perceptions of the user,there are many sensory perceptions of touch that are common to a largemajority of users. Thus, when a tactile output is described ascorresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., an “upclick,” a “down click,” “roughness”), unless otherwise stated, thegenerated tactile output corresponds to physical displacement of thedevice or a component thereof that will generate the described sensoryperception for a typical (or average) user.

Determining movement of the point of contact, which isrepresented by a series of contact data, optionally includes determiningspeed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and/or anacceleration (a change in magnitude and/or direction) of the point ofcontact. These operations are, optionally, applied to single contacts(e.g., one finger contacts) or to multiple simultaneous contacts (e.g.,“multitouch”/multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments,contact/motion module 130 and display controller 156 detect contact on atouchpad.

In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 uses a set of one or moreintensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has beenperformed by a user (e.g., to determine whether a user has “clicked” onan icon). In some embodiments, at least a subset of the intensitythresholds are determined in accordance with software parameters (e.g.,the intensity thresholds are not determined by the activation thresholdsof particular physical actuators and can be adjusted without changingthe physical hardware of device 100). For example, a mouse “click”threshold of a trackpad or touch screen display can be set to any of alarge range of predefined threshold values without changing the trackpador touch screen display hardware. Additionally, in some implementations,a user of the device is provided with software settings for adjustingone or more of the set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjustingindividual intensity thresholds and/or by adjusting a plurality ofintensity thresholds at once with a system-level click “intensity”parameter).

Contact/motion module 130 optionally detects a gesture input by a user.Different gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different contactpatterns (e.g., different motions, timings, and/or intensities ofdetected contacts). Thus, a gesture is, optionally, detected bydetecting a particular contact pattern. For example, detecting a fingertap gesture includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detectinga finger-up (liftoff) event at the same position (or substantially thesame position) as the finger-down event (e.g., at the position of anicon). As another example, detecting a finger swipe gesture on thetouch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger-down event followedby detecting one or more finger-dragging events, and subsequentlyfollowed by detecting a finger-up (liftoff) event.

Each of the above-identified modules and applications corresponds to aset of executable instructions for performing one or more functionsdescribed above and the methods described in this application (e.g., thecomputer-implemented methods and other information processing methodsdescribed herein). These modules (e.g., sets of instructions) need notbe implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules,and thus various subsets of these modules are, optionally, combined orotherwise rearranged in various embodiments. For example, video playermodule is, optionally, combined with music player module into a singlemodule (e.g., video and music player module 152, FIG. 1A). In someembodiments, memory 102 optionally stores a subset of the modules anddata structures identified above. Furthermore, memory 102 optionallystores additional modules and data structures not described above.

In some embodiments, device 100 is a device where operation of apredefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusivelythrough a touch screen and/or a touchpad. By using a touch screen and/ora touchpad as the primary input control device for operation of device100, the number of physical input control devices (such as push buttons,dials, and the like) on device 100 is, optionally, reduced.

The predefined set of functions that are performed exclusively through atouch screen and/or a touchpad optionally include navigation betweenuser interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by theuser, navigates device 100 to a main, home, or root menu from any userinterface that is displayed on device 100. In such embodiments, a “menubutton” is implemented using a touchpad. In some other embodiments, themenu button is a physical push button or other physical input controldevice instead of a touchpad.

FIG. 1B is a block diagram illustrating exemplary components for eventhandling in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments,memory 102 (FIG. 1A) or 370 (FIG. 3) includes event sorter 170 (e.g., inoperating system 126) and a respective application 136-1 (e.g., any ofthe aforementioned applications 137-151, 155, 380-390).

Event sorter 170 receives event information and determines theapplication 136-1 and application view 191 of application 136-1 to whichto deliver the event information. Event sorter 170 includes eventmonitor 171 and event dispatcher module 174. In some embodiments,application 136-1 includes application internal state 192, whichindicates the current application view(s) displayed on touch-sensitivedisplay 112 when the application is active or executing. In someembodiments, device/global internal state 157 is used by event sorter170 to determine which application(s) is (are) currently active, andapplication internal state 192 is used by event sorter 170 to determineapplication views 191 to which to deliver event information.

In some embodiments, application internal state 192 includes additionalinformation, such as one or more of: resume information to be used whenapplication 136-1 resumes execution, user interface state informationthat indicates information being displayed or that is ready for displayby application 136-1, a state queue for enabling the user to go back toa prior state or view of application 136-1, and a redo/undo queue ofprevious actions taken by the user.

Event monitor 171 receives event information from peripherals interface118. Event information includes information about a sub-event (e.g., auser touch on touch-sensitive display 112, as part of a multi-touchgesture). Peripherals interface 118 transmits information it receivesfrom I/O subsystem 106 or a sensor, such as proximity sensor 166,accelerometer(s) 168, and/or microphone 113 (through audio circuitry110). Information that peripherals interface 118 receives from I/Osubsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display 112 or atouch-sensitive surface.

In some embodiments, event monitor 171 sends requests to the peripheralsinterface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripheralsinterface 118 transmits event information. In other embodiments,peripherals interface 118 transmits event information only when there isa significant event (e.g., receiving an input above a predeterminednoise threshold and/or for more than a predetermined duration).

In some embodiments, event sorter 170 also includes a hit viewdetermination module 172 and/or an active event recognizer determinationmodule 173.

Hit view determination module 172 provides software procedures fordetermining where a sub-event has taken place within one or more viewswhen touch-sensitive display 112 displays more than one view. Views aremade up of controls and other elements that a user can see on thedisplay.

Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is aset of views, sometimes herein called application views or userinterlace windows, in which information is displayed and touch-basedgestures occur. The application views (of a respective application) inwhich a touch is detected optionally correspond to programmatic levelswithin a programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example,the lowest level view in which a touch is detected is, optionally,called the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as properinputs are, optionally, determined based, at least in part, on the hitview of the initial touch that begins a touch-based gesture.

Hit view determination module 172 receives information related tosub-events of a touch-based gesture. When an application has multipleviews organized in a hierarchy, hit view determination module 172identifies a hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy which shouldhandle the sub-event. In most circumstances, the hit view is the lowestlevel view in which an initiating sub-event occurs (e.g., the firstsub-event in the sequence of sub-events that form an event or potentialevent). Once the hit view is identified by the hit view determinationmodule 172, the hit view typically receives all sub-events related tothe same touch or input source for which it was identified as the hitview.

Active event recognizer determination module 173 determines which viewor views within a view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence ofsub-events. In some embodiments, active event recognizer determinationmodule 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particularsequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active event recognizerdetermination module 173 determines that all views that include thephysical location of a sub-event are actively involved views, andtherefore determines that all actively involved views should receive aparticular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if touchsub-events were entirely confined to the area associated with oneparticular view, views higher in the hierarchy would still remain asactively involved views.

Event dispatcher module 174 dispatches the event information to an eventrecognizer (e.g., event recognizer 180). In embodiments including activeevent recognizer determination module 173, event dispatcher module 174delivers the event information to an event recognizer determined byactive event recognizer determination module 173. In some embodiments,event dispatcher module 174 stores in an event queue the eventinformation, which is retrieved by a respective event receiver 182.

In some embodiments, operating system 126 includes event sorter 170.Alternatively, application 136-1 includes event sorter 170. In yet otherembodiments, event sorter 170 is a stand-alone module, or a part ofanother module stored in memory 102, such as contact/motion module 130.

In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes a plurality of eventhandlers 190 and one or more application views 191, each of whichincludes instructions for handling touch events that occur within arespective view of the application's user interface. Each applicationview 191 of the application 136-1 includes one or more event recognizers180. Typically, a respective application view 191 includes a pluralityof event recognizers 180. In other embodiments, one or more of eventrecognizers 180 are part of a separate module, such as a user interfacekit (not shown) or a higher level object from which application 136-1inherits methods and other properties, in some embodiments, a respectiveevent handler 190 includes one or more of: data updater 176, objectupdater 177, GUI updater 178, and/or event data 179 received from eventsorter 170. Event handler 190 optionally utilizes or calls data updater176, object updater 177, or GUI updater 178 to update the applicationinternal state 192. Alternatively, one or more of the application views191 include one or more respective event handlers 190. Also, in someembodiments, one or more of data updater 176, object updater 177, andGUI updater 178 are included in a respective application view 191.

A respective event recognizer 180 receives event information (e.g.,event data 179) from event sorter 170 and identifies an event from theevent information. Event recognizer 180 includes event receiver 182 andevent comparator 184. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 alsoincludes at least a subset of: metadata 183, and event deliveryinstructions 188 (which optionally include sub-event deliveryinstructions).

Event receiver 182 receives event information from event sorter 170. Theevent information includes information about a sub-event, for example, atouch or a touch movement. Depending on the sub-event, the eventinformation also includes additional information, such as location ofthe sub-event. When the sub-event concerns motion of a touch, the eventinformation optionally also includes speed and direction of thesub-event. In some embodiments, events include rotation of the devicefrom one orientation to another (e.g., from a portrait orientation to alandscape orientation, or vice versa), and the event informationincludes corresponding information about the current orientation (alsocalled device attitude) of the device.

Event comparator 184 compares the event information to predefined eventor sub-event definitions and, based on the comparison, determines anevent or sub-event, or determines or updates the state of an event orsub-event. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 includes eventdefinitions 186. Event definitions 186 contain definitions of events(e.g., predefined sequences of sub-events), for example, event 1(187-1), event 2 (187-2), and others. In some embodiments, sub-events inan event (187) include, for example, touch begin, touch end, touchmovement, touch cancellation, and multiple touching. In one example, thedefinition for event 1 (187-1) is a double tap on a displayed object.The double tap, for example, comprises a first touch (touch begin) onthe displayed object for a predetermined phase, a first liftoff (touchend) for a predetermined phase, a second touch (touch begin) on thedisplayed object for a predetermined phase, and a second liftoff (touchend) for a predetermined phase. In another example, the definition forevent 2 (187-2) is a dragging on a displayed object. The dragging, forexample, comprises a touch (or contact) on the displayed object for apredetermined phase, a movement of the touch across touch-sensitivedisplay 112, and liftoff of the touch (touch end). In some embodiments,the event also includes information for one or more associated eventhandlers 190.

In some embodiments, event definition 187 includes a definition of anevent for a respective user-interface object. In some embodiments, eventcomparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which user-interfaceobject is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an applicationview in which three user-interface objects are displayed ontouch-sensitive display 112, when a touch is detected on touch-sensitivedisplay 112, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine whichof the three user-interface objects is associated with the touch(sub-event). If each displayed object is associated with a respectiveevent handler 190, the event comparator uses the result of the hit testto determine which event handler 190 should be activated. For example,event comparator 184 selects an event handler associated with thesub-event and the object triggering the hit test.

In some embodiments, the definition for a respective event (187) alsoincludes delayed actions that delay delivery of the event informationuntil after it has been determined whether the sequence of sub-eventsdoes or does not correspond to the event recognizer's event type.

When a respective event recognizer 180 determines that the series ofsub-events do not match any of the events in event definitions 186, therespective event recognizer 180 enters an event impossible, eventfailed, or event ended state, after which it disregards subsequentsub-events of the touch-based gesture. In this situation, other eventrecognizers, if any, that remain active for the hit view continue totrack and process sub-events of an ongoing touch-based gesture.

In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 includes metadata183 with configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate howthe event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery to activelyinvolved event recognizers. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includesconfigurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how eventrecognizers interact, or are enabled to interact, with one another. Insome embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags,and/or lists that indicate whether sub-events are delivered to varyinglevels in the view or programmatic hierarchy.

In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 activates eventhandler 190 associated with an event when one or more particularsub-events of an event are recognized. In some embodiments, a respectiveevent recognizer 180 delivers event information associated with theevent to event handler 190. Activating an event handler 190 is distinctfrom sending (and deferred sending) sub-events to a respective hit view.In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 throws a flag associated withthe recognized event, and event handler 190 associated with the flagcatches the flag and performs a predefined process.

In some embodiments, event delivery instructions 188 include sub-eventdelivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-eventwithout activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event deliveryinstructions deliver event information to event handlers associated withthe series of sub-events or to actively involved views. Event handlersassociated with the series of sub-events or with actively involved viewsreceive the event information and perform a predetermined process.

In some embodiments, data updater 176 creates and updates data used inapplication 136-1. For example, data updater 176 updates the telephonenumber used in contacts module 137, or stores a video file used in videoplayer module. In some embodiments, object updater 177 creates andupdates objects used in application 136-1. For example, object updater177 creates a new user-interface object or updates the position of auser-interface object. GUI updater 178 updates the GUI. For example, GUIupdater 178 prepares display information and sends it to graphics module132 for display on a touch-sensitive display.

In some embodiments, event handler(s) 190 includes or has access to dataupdater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178. In someembodiments, data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178are included in a single module of a respective application 136-1 orapplication view 191. In other embodiments, they are included in two ormore software modules.

It shall be understood that the foregoing discussion regarding eventhandling of user touches on touch-sensitive displays also applies toother forms of user inputs to operate multifunction devices 100 withinput devices, not all of which are initiated on touch screens. Forexample, mouse movement and mouse button presses, optionally coordinatedwith single or multiple keyboard presses or holds; contact movementssuch as taps, drags, scrolls, etc. on touchpads; pen stylus inputs;movement of the device; oral instructions; detected eye movements;biometric inputs; and/or any combination thereof are optionally utilizedas inputs corresponding to sub-events which define an event to berecognized.

Memory 370 optionally includes one or more storage devicesremotely located from CPU(s) 310. In some embodiments, memory 370 storesprograms, modules, and data structures analogous to the programs,modules, and data structures stored in memory 102 of portablemultifunction device 100 (FIG. 1A), or a subset thereof. Furthermore,memory 370 optionally stores additional programs, modules, and datastructures not present in memory 102 of portable multifunction device100. For example, memory 370 of device 300 optionally stores drawingmodule 380, presentation module 382, word processing module 384, websitecreation module 386, disk authoring module 388, and/or spreadsheetmodule 390, while memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100 (FIG.1A) optionally does not store these modules.

Each of theabove-identified modules corresponds to a set of instructions forperforming a function described above. The above-identified modules orprograms (e.g., sets of instructions) need not be implemented asseparate software programs, procedures, or modules, and thus varioussubsets of these modules are, optionally, combined or otherwiserearranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 370optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identifiedabove. Furthermore, memory 370 optionally stores additional modules anddata structures not described above.

Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces thatis, optionally, implemented on, for example, portable multifunctiondevice 100.

FIG. 4A illustrates an exemplary user interface for a menu ofapplications on portable multifunction device 100 in accordance withsome embodiments. Similar user interfaces are, optionally, implementedon device 300. In some embodiments, user interface 400 includes thefollowing elements, or a subset or superset thereof:

-   -   Signal strength indicator(s) 402 for wireless communication(s),        such as cellular and Wi-Fi signals;    -   Time 404;    -   Bluetooth indicator 405;    -   Battery status indicator 406;    -   Tray 408 with icons for frequently used applications, such as:        -   Icon 416 for telephone module 138, labeled “Phone,” which            optionally includes an indicator 414 of the number of missed            calls or voicemail messages;        -   Icon 418 for e-mail client module 140, labeled “Mail,” which            optionally includes an indicator 410 of the number of unread            e-mails;        -   Icon 420 for browser module 147, labeled “Browser;” and        -   Icon 422 for video and music player module 152, also            referred to as iPod (trademark of Apple Inc.) module 152,            labeled “iPod;” and    -   Icons for other applications, such as:        -   Icon 424 for IM module 141, labeled “Messages;”        -   Icon 426 for calendar module 148, labeled “Calendar;”        -   Icon 428 for image management module 144, labeled “Photos;”        -   Icon 430 for camera module 143, labeled “Camera;”        -   Icon 432 for online video module 155, labeled “Online            Video;”        -   Icon 434 for stocks widget 149-2, labeled “Stocks;”        -   Icon 436 for map module 154, labeled “Maps;”        -   Icon 438 for weather widget 149-1, labeled “Weather;”        -   Icon 440 for alarm clock widget 149-4, labeled “Clock;”        -   Icon 442 for workout support module 142, labeled “Workout            Support;”        -   Icon 444 for notes module 153, labeled “Notes;” and        -   Icon 446 for a settings application or module, labeled            “Settings,” which provides access to settings for device 100            and its various applications 136.

It should be noted that the icon labels illustrated in FIG. 4A aremerely exemplary. For example, icon 422 for video and music playermodule 152 are labeled “Music” or “Music Player.” Other labels are,optionally, used for various application icons. In some embodiments, alabel for a respective application icon includes a name of anapplication corresponding to the respective application icon. In someembodiments, a label for a particular application icon is distinct froma name of an application corresponding to the particular applicationicon.

FIG. 4B illustrates an exemplary user interface on a device (e.g.,device 300, FIG. 3) with a touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., a tabletor touchpad 355, FIG. 3) that is separate from the display 450 (e.g.,touch screen display 112). Device 300 also, optionally, includes one ormore contact intensity sensors (e.g., one or more of sensors 359) fordetecting intensity of contacts on touch-sensitive surface 451 and/orone or more tactile output generators 357 for generating tactile outputsfor a user of device 300.

Although some of the examples which follow will be given with referenceto inputs on touch screen display 112 (where the touch-sensitive surfaceand the display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detectsinputs on a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the display,as shown in FIG. 4B. In some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface(e.g, 451 in FIG. 4B) has a primary axis (e.g., 452 in FIG. 4B) thatcorresponds to a primary axis (e.g., 453 in FIG. 4B) on the display(e.g., 450). In accordance with these embodiments, the device detectscontacts (e.g., 460 and 462 in FIG. 4B) with the touch-sensitive surface451 at locations that correspond to respective locations on the display(e.g., in FIG. 4B, 460 corresponds to 468 and 462 corresponds to 470).In this way, user inputs (e.g., contacts 460 and 462, and movementsthereof) detected by the device on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g.,451 in FIG. 4B) are used by the device to manipulate the user interfaceon the display (e.g., 450 in FIG. 4B) of the multifunction device whenthe touch-sensitive surface is separate from the display. It should beunderstood that similar methods are, optionally, used for other userinterfaces described herein.

Additionally, while the following examples are given primarily withreference to finger in (e.g., finger contacts, finger tap gestures,finger swipe gestures), it should be understood that, in someembodiments, one or more of the finger inputs are replaced with inputfrom another input device (e.g., a mouse-based input or stylus input).For example, a swipe gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click(e.g., instead of a contact) followed by movement of the cursor alongthe path of the swipe (e.g., instead of movement of the contact). Asanother example, a tap gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouseclick while the cursor is located over the location of the tap gesture(e.g., instead of detection of the contact followed by ceasing to detectthe contact). Similarly, when multiple user inputs are simultaneouslydetected, it should be understood that multiple computer mice are,optionally, used simultaneously, or a mouse and finger contacts are,optionally, used simultaneously.

FIG. 5A illustrates exemplary personal electronic device 500. Device 500includes body 502. In some embodiments, device 500 can include some orall of the features described with respect to devices 100 and 300 (e.g.,FIGS. 1A-4B). In some embodiments, device 500 has touch-sensitivedisplay screen 504, hereafter touch screen 504. Alternatively, or inaddition to touch screen 504, device 500 has a display and atouch-sensitive surface. As with devices 100 and 300, in someembodiments, touch screen 504 (or the touch-sensitive surface)optionally includes one or more intensity sensors for detectingintensity of contacts (e.g., touches) being applied. The one or moreintensity sensors of touch screen 504 (or the touch-sensitive surface)can provide output data that represents the intensity of touches. Theuser interface of device 500 can respond to touches based on theirintensity, meaning that touches of different intensities can invokedifferent user interface operations on device 500.

Personal electronic device 500 can be used for detecting and monitoringvarious attributes of a user's physical activity, such as an amount, anintensity level, a duration, a progress relative to a set value, a trendover a time period, or the like, of the activity, and can generate userinterfaces for displaying the same. Device 500 can further be used tomonitor a user's inactivity, where the user can be categorized as beinginactive when device 500 detects that the user is not engaged in aphysical activity that meets a predetermined criteria. For example,inactivity can be characterized by the absence of the user engaging in aphysical activity that meets a threshold intensity (e.g., movement thatexpends a threshold number of Calories per unit time, movement thatexceeds a threshold distance per unit time, or the like), the absence ofthe user engaging in a specified type of activity (e.g., standing,walking, running, swimming, climbing stairs, or the like), or acombination thereof. As will be described in greater detail below,device 500 can include various activity sensors for detecting activityand inactivity of a user and can generate an interface on a display ofthe device to provide the user with information associated with theiractivity or inactivity.

Exemplary techniques for detecting and processing touch intensity arefound, for example, in related applications: International PatentApplication Serial No. PCT/US2013/040061, titled “Device, Method, andGraphical User Interface for Displaying User Interface ObjectsCorresponding to an Application,” filed May 8, 2013, and InternationalPatent Application Serial No. PCT/US2013/069483, titled “Device, Method,and Graphical User Interface for Transitioning Between Touch Input toDisplay Output Relationships,” filed Nov. 11, 2013, each of which ishereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more input mechanisms 506 and508. Input mechanisms 506 and 508, if included, can be physical.Examples of physical input mechanisms include push buttons and rotatablemechanisms. In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more attachmentmechanisms. Such attachment mechanisms, if included, can permitattachment of device 500 with, for example, hats, eyewear, earrings,necklaces, shirts, jackets, bracelets, watch straps, chains, trousers,belts, shoes, purses, backpacks, and so forth. These attachmentmechanisms may permit device 500 to be worn by a user.

In some examples, device 500 can further include an attachment mechanism(not shown) coupled to body 502 to permit device 500 to be worn by auser. The attachment mechanism can include a strap that permits device500 to be worn around the user's wrist. However, it should beappreciated that the attachment mechanism can include other types ofattachment mechanisms. For instance, in some examples, the attachmentmechanism can include a string, a clip, a clasp, a metal loop, a toggle,a button, a snap, a hook, an interlocking part, a soldered part, or thelike, that can be attached to or integrated with hats, eyewear,earrings, necklaces, shirts, jackets, bracelets, watch straps, chains,trousers, belts, shoes, purses, backpacks, hairbands, armbands, anyother clothing, jewelry, or wearable accessories. In yet other examples,the attachment mechanism can include an adhesive, a weld metal, apolymer, a glue, or the like, that permits device 500 to be directlyaffixed to a user's body part, such as wrist, finger, toe, neck, head,arm, leg, ankle, waist, or the like.

Device 500 can further include one or more activity sensors fordetecting physical activity of a user. The activity sensors can includeone or more of global positioning system (GPS) sensors, pedometers,accelerometers, biometric sensors, gyroscope sensors, motion sensors,timer sensors, clock sensors, or the like, and can be operable to outputactivity data that represents various attributes of a detected activityof the user.

FIG. 5B depicts exemplary personal electronic device 500. In someembodiments, device 500 can include some or all of the componentsdescribed with respect to FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 3. Device 500 has bus 512that operatively couples I/O section 514 with one or more computerprocessors 516 and memory 518. I/O section 514 can be connected todisplay 504, which can have touch-sensitive component 522 and,optionally, intensity sensor 524 (e.g., contact intensity sensor). Inaddition, I/O section 514 can be connected with communication unit 530for receiving application and operating system data, using Wi-Fi,Bluetooth, near field communication (NFC), cellular, and/or otherwireless communication techniques. Device 500 can include inputmechanisms 506 and/or 508. Input mechanism 506 is, optionally, arotatable input device or a depressible and rotatable input device, forexample. Input mechanism 508 is, optionally, a button, in some examples.

Input mechanism 508 is, optionally, a microphone, in some examples.Personal electronic device 500 optionally includes various activitysensors 520 for detecting an activity of a user of device 500. Activitysensors 520 can include one or more of any desired type of sensor, suchas GPS sensor 532, accelerometer 534, directional sensor 540 (e.g.,compass), gyroscope 536, motion sensor 538, other sensor(s) 541, and/ora combination thereof, all of which can be operatively connected to I/Osection 514. While not shown, other sensor(s) 541 can include any of apedometer, a passive infrared sensor, an ultrasome sensor, a microwavesensor, a tomographic motion detector, a camera, a biometric sensor, alight sensor, a timer, or the like.

In some examples, the biometric sensor can include one or morehealth-related optical sensors, capacitive sensors, thermal sensors,electric field (eField) sensors, and/or ultrasound sensors, such asphotoplethysmogram (PPG) sensors, electrocardiography (ECG) sensors,and/or galvanic skin response (GSR) sensors. These sensors can generatedata providing health-related information associated with the user. Forexample, PPG sensors can provide information regarding a user'srespiratory rate, blood pressure, and/or oxygen saturation. ECG sensorscan provide information regarding a user's heartbeats. GSR sensors canprovide information regarding a user's skin moisture indicative ofsweating and can prioritize a thermostat application to determine auser's body temperature. Using one or more of these sensors, device 500can determine physiological characteristics of the user while performinga detected activity, such as a heart rate of a user associated with thedetected activity, average body temperature of a user detected duringthe detected activity, any normal or abnormal physical conditionsassociated with the detected activity, or the like.

In some examples, GPS sensor 532 can be used to determine a user'slocation and movement, as well as a displacement of the user's motion.Accelerometer 534, directional sensor 540, and gyroscope 536 can furthergenerate activity data that can be used to determine whether a user ofdevice 500 is engaging in an activity, is inactive, or is performing agesture. Device 500 can further include a timer that can be used, forexample, to add time dimensions to various attributes of the detectedphysical activity, such as a duration of a user's physical activity orinactivity, time(s) of a day when the activity is detected or notdetected, etc.

Activity sensors 520 can be embedded in body 502 of device 500, placednear a bottom surface of body 502 of device 500, or can be positioned atany other desirable location. In some examples, different activitysensors 520 can be placed in different locations inside or on thesurfaces of device 500—e.g., some located inside body 502 and someattached to the attachment mechanism, or the like. In other examples,activity sensors 520 can be worn by a user separately from device 500.In such cases, the sensors can be configured to communicate with device500 using a wired or wireless technology (e.g., via communication unit531). In some examples, activity sensors 520 can be configured tocommunicate with each other and/or share data collected from one or moresensors. In some other examples, device 500 can be waterproof such thatthe sensors can detect a user's activity in water.

Memory 518 of personal electronic device 500 can be a non-transitorycomputer-readable storage medium, for storing computer-executableinstructions, which, when executed by one or more computer processors516, for example, can cause the computer processors to perform thetechniques described above, including processes 1500, 1600, 2200, 2400,4000, 4800, 7900, 8600, 8900, and 9200 (FIGS. 15, 16, 22, 24, 40, 48,79, 86, and 89). The computer-executable instructions can also be storedand/or transported within any non-transitory computer-readable storagemedium for use by or in connection with an instruction execution system,apparatus, or device, such as a computer-based system,processor-containing system, or other system that can fetch theinstructions from the instruction execution system, apparatus, or deviceand execute the instructions. For purposes of this document, “anon-transitory computer-readable storage medium” can be any medium thatcan tangibly contain or store computer-executable instructions for useby or in connection with the instruction execution system, apparatus, ordevice. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium can include,but is not limited to, magnetic, optical, and/or semiconductor storages.Examples of such storage include magnetic disks, optical discs based onCD, DVD, or Blu-ray technologies, as well as persistent solid-statememory such as flash, solid-state drives, and the like. Personalelectronic device 500 is not limited to the components and configurationof FIG. 5B, hut can include other or additional components in multipleconfigurations.

Device 500 can further include one or more computer processors 516coupled to memory section 518 via bus 512. I/O section 514 can becoupled to bus 512 to allow processors 516 and memory 518 to transmitand receive data from other components of device 500. For example,processors 516 can be coupled to provide instructions to activitysensors 520 via I/O section 514 and can be coupled to receive activitydata from activity sensors 520 via I/O section 514.

Processors 516 can be configured to process the activity data todetermine if the physical activity data represents a physical activityor a gesture being performed by the user, where a physical activity cangenerally refer to any bodily motion that can enhance or maintainphysical fitness and overall health and wellness. Additionally,processors 516 can be configured to identify the type of physicalactivity represented by the activity data, such as whether the detectedactivity is standing, bicycling, jogging, walking, running, swimming,jumping, going up stairs, intense bodily movements, such as wrestling,or the like. Examples of gestures recognizable by device 500 include,but are not limited to, waving hands, moving fingers, such as typing, orthe like. In some examples, processor 516 can determine a physicalactivity of a user based on one or more physical activity recognitionalgorithms. Some algorithms can instruct processor 516 to recognizemovement of device 500 as being associated with a gesture if thedetected movement does not have an intensity level greater than or equalto a physical activity threshold. The physical activity threshold can berepresented as a distance traveled, a number of Calories burned, anumber of steps taken, any one or more of these attributes calculatedper unit time, or the like. The algorithms for storing such instructionsfor the one or more processors 516 can be stored in memory section 518.

Additionally, processors 516 can determine, based on the physicalactivity data received from the sensors, various attributes of thedetected physical activity. Attributes of the detected physical activitycan include physical, biological, physiological, or environmentalcharacteristics associated with the detected physical activity. Examplesof attributes determinable by device 500 upon detecting a physicalactivity can include, but are not limited to: duration of the detectedphysical activity; time(s) of a day when the user performs the detectedphysical activity; amount of Calories burned by a user of the devicewhile performing the detected physical activity; distance travelled by auser of the device while performing the detected physical activity;steps taken by a user of the device while performing the detectedphysical activity; elevation climbed by a user of the device whileperforming the detected physical activity; highest/lowest/averagevelocity of a user of the device while performing the detected physicalactivity; highest/lowest/average heart rate of a user of the devicewhile performing the detected physical activity; highest/lowest/averagebody temperature of a user of the device while performing the detectedphysical activity; or the like. For example, when device 500 categorizesa detected physical activity as walking, device 500 can furtherdetermine one or more attributes of the detected walking, such as alength of time for which the walking continues, highest/lowest/averagespeed of the user while walking, amount of Calories burned from thedetected walking, or the like. In some examples, device 500 can furtherdetermine time dimensions associated with one or more attributes using aclock/timer sensor such as time(s) of a day when physical activity isdetected, time(s) of a day when the most/least intensive physicalactivity is detected, time(s) of a day when a certain amount of Caloriesare burned, or the like.

In some examples, processors 516 in combination with activity sensors520 of device 500 can detect when the system is placed into a viewingposition. For instance, accelerometer 534, motion sensor 538, and/orgyroscope 536 can detect when device 500 is raised, lowered, and shaken.These sensors can also detect wrist rotation forward and backward. Insome examples, the raising of device 500 can be interpreted as aplacement of the device into viewing position. In other examples, theraising and rotation of device 500 can be interpreted as a placement ofthe device into viewing position. In yet other examples, the raising androtation of device 500 within a threshold duration can be interpreted asa placement of the device into viewing position. When put into a viewingposition, device 500 can adjust the display image according to theviewing positions and angles, and/or update the display image to reflectthe most current data related to the user's physical activity. In someexamples, device 500 can determine that when it is moving at a velocitythat exceeds a threshold (e.g., 10 mph, 20 mph, 25 mph, 30 mph, 40 mph,50 mph, 55 mph, 60 mph, 65 mph, etc.), the user of the device iscommuting, and the movement associated with the user is not a result ofthe user's bodily movement or exercising. In other examples, device 500can receive an input from a user indicating that he/she is engaging in aparticular type of activity that causes them to move at a velocityexceeding the above-mentioned threshold (e.g., cycling), and that theassociated movement should be interpreted as being a result of exercise.

In some other examples, device 500 can be globally turned off inresponse to a global turn-on/off signal. For instance, if globallyturned off, device 500 can stop detecting and monitoring a physicalactivity from a user. This can advantageously save power in cases wherethe user intends to not use device 500 for a period of time. In someexamples, a global turn-off signal can be inputted directly by a user ofdevice 500 using an input mechanism of device 500. The user can set aperiod of time during which device 500 would be turned off and afterwhich device 500 would automatically turn on, in other examples, asignal to turn off device 500 can be automatically generated in responseto the processor determining, based on a contact temperature or otherconditions detectable by the sensors, that device 100 is no longer beingworn by a user.

Device 500 can track a user's physical activity over different lengthsof time. For example, if device 500 monitors a user's daily activity, itcan track one or more attributes of the user's physical activitiesperformed on the same day and can store and reset the values of thoseattributes the next day. For instance, in some cases, device 500 canmonitor a total amount of daily physical activity performed by the user,and this total amount can be updated in real time throughout the day for24 hours as more activities are detected. After the 24 hours havepassed, the total amount can be stored and reset. Device 500 can beconfigured to reset the attribute value at a specified time that isadjustable by a user. In other examples, device 500 can operate overdifferent lengths of time, such as a half day, two days, a week, twoweeks, a month, or the like, that can be adjustable by a user of device500. Further, in some examples where device 500 monitors a user'sphysical activity over a relatively extended length of time, device 500may not have enough memory capacity to track and store all of theattributes of the user's physical activities over such an extendedlength of time and can instead be configured to offload some or all ofthe data collected from the sensors on an external device (e.g., aremote server) that is remote from device 500. The external device canbe configured to communicate with a plurality of devices 500, and storedata collected from these devices. The external device can be furtherconfigured to execute computer instructions on the data and communicatethe result with one or more of these devices 500.

As used here, the term “affordance” refers to a user-interactivegraphical user interface object that is, optionally, displayed on thedisplay screen of devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (FIGS. 1, 3, and 5). Forexample, an image (e.g., icon), a button, and text (e.g., hyperlink)each optionally constitute an affordance.

As used herein, the term “focus selector” refers to an input elementthat indicates a current part of a user interface with which a user isinteracting. In some implementations that include a cursor or otherlocation marker, the cursor acts as a “focus selector” so that when aninput (e.g., a press input) is detected on a touch-sensitive surface(e.g., touchpad 355 in FIG. 3 or touch-sensitive surface 451 in FIG. 4B)while the cursor is over a particular user interface element (e.g., abutton, window, slider or other user interface element), the particularuser interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detectedinput. In some implementations that include a touch screen display(e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112 in FIG. 1A or touch screen 112in FIG. 4A) that enables direct interaction with user interface elementson the touch screen display, a detected contact on the touch screen actsas a “focus selector” so that when an input (e.g., a press input by thecontact) is detected on the touch screen display at a location of aparticular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, orother user interface element), the particular user interface element isadjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations,focus is moved from one region of a user interface to another region ofthe user interface without corresponding movement of a cursor ormovement of a contact on a touch screen display (e.g., by using a tabkey or arrow keys to move focus from one button to another button); inthese implementations, the focus selector moves in accordance withmovement of focus between different regions of the user interface.Without regard to the specific form taken by the focus selector, thefocus selector is generally the user interface element (or contact on atouch screen display) that is controlled by the user so as tocommunicate the user's intended interaction with the user interface(e.g., by indicating, to the device, the element of the user interfacewith which the user is intending to interact). For example, the locationof a focus selector (e.g., a cursor, a contact, or a selection box) overa respective button while a press input is detected on thetouch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchpad or touch screen) will indicatethat the user is intending to activate the respective button (as opposedto other user interface elements shown on a display of the device).

As used in the specification and claims, the term “characteristicintensity” of a contact refers to a characteristic of the contact basedon one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, thecharacteristic intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. Thecharacteristic intensity is, optionally, based on a predefined number ofintensity samples, or a set of intensity samples collected during apredetermined time period (e.g., 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10seconds) relative to a predefined event (e.g., after detecting thecontact, prior to detecting liftoff of the contact, before or afterdetecting a start of movement of the contact, prior to detecting an endof the contact, before or after detecting an increase in intensity ofthe contact, and/or before or after detecting a decrease in intensity ofthe contact). A characteristic intensity of a contact is, optionallybased on one or more of a maximum value of the intensities of thecontact, a mean value of the intensities of the contact, an averagevalue of the intensities of the contact, a top 10 percentile value ofthe intensities of the contact, a value at the half maximum of theintensities of the contact, a value at the 90 percent maximum of theintensities of the contact, or the like. In some embodiments, theduration of the contact is used in determining the characteristicintensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is an average of theintensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, thecharacteristic intensity is compared to a set of one or more intensitythresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by auser. For example, the set of one or more intensity thresholdsoptionally includes a first intensity threshold and a second intensitythreshold. In this example, a contact with a characteristic intensitythat does not exceed the first threshold results in a first operation, acontact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the first intensitythreshold and does not exceed the second intensity threshold results ina second operation, and a contact with a characteristic intensity thatexceeds the second threshold results in a third operation. In someembodiments, a comparison between the characteristic intensity and oneor more thresholds is used to determine whether or not to perform one ormore operations (e.g., whether to perform a respective operation orforgo performing the respective operation) rather than being used todetermine whether to perform a first operation or a second operation.

FIG. 5C illustrates detecting a plurality of contacts 552A-552E ontouch-sensitive display screen 504 with a plurality of intensity sensors524A-524D. FIG. 5C additionally includes intensity diagrams that showthe current intensity measurements of the intensity sensors 524A-524Drelative to units of intensity. In this example, the intensitymeasurements of intensity sensors 524A and 524D are each 9 units ofintensity, and the intensity measurements of intensity sensors 524B and524C are each 7 units of intensity. In some implementations, anaggregate intensity is the sum of the intensity measurements of theplurality of intensity sensors 524A-524D, which in this example is 32intensity units. In some embodiments, each contact is assigned arespective intensity that is a portion of the aggregate intensity. FIG.5D illustrates assigning the aggregate intensity to contacts 552A-552Ebased on their distance from the center of force 554. In this example,each of contacts 552A, 552B and 552E are assigned an intensity ofcontact of 8 intensity units of the aggregate intensity, and each ofcontacts 552C and 552D are assigned an intensity of contact of 4intensity units of the aggregate intensity. More generally, in someimplementations, each contact j is assigned a respective intensity Ijthat is a portion of the aggregate intensity, A, in accordance with apredefined mathematical function, Ij=A·(Dj/ΣDi), where Dj is thedistance of the respective contact j to the center of force, and ΣDi isthe sum of the distances of all the respective contacts (e.g., i=1 tolast) to the center of force. The operations described with reference toFIGS. 5C-5D can be performed using an electronic device similar oridentical to device 100, 300, or 500. In some embodiments, acharacteristic intensity of a contact is based on one or moreintensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the intensity sensorsare used to determine a single characteristic intensity (e.g., a singlecharacteristic intensity of a single contact). It should be noted thatthe intensity diagrams are not part of a displayed user interface, butare included in FIGS. 5C-5D to aid the reader.

In some embodiments, a portion of a gesture is identified for purposesof determining a characteristic intensity. For example, atouch-sensitive surface optionally receives a continuous swipe contacttransitioning from a start location and reaching an end location, atwhich point the intensity of the contact increases. In this example, thecharacteristic intensity of the contact at the end location is,optionally, based on only a portion of the continuous swipe contact, andnot the entire swipe contact (e.g., only the portion of the swipecontact at the end location). In some embodiments, a smoothing algorithmis, optionally, applied to the intensities of the swipe contact prior todetermining the characteristic intensity of the contact. For example,the smoothing algorithm optionally includes one or more of: an unweighted sliding-average smoothing algorithm, a triangular smoothingalgorithm, a median filter smoothing algorithm, and/or an exponentialsmoothing algorithm. In some circumstances, these smoothing algorithmseliminate narrow spikes or dips in the intensities of the swipe contactfor purposes of determining a characteristic intensity.

The intensity of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface is,optionally, characterized relative to one or more intensity thresholds,such as a contact-detection intensity threshold, a light press intensitythreshold, a deep press intensity threshold, and/or one or more otherintensity thresholds. In some embodiments, the light press intensitythreshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will performoperations typically associated with clicking a button of a physicalmouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, the deep press intensitythreshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will performoperations that are different from operations typically associated withclicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad. In someembodiments, when a contact is detected with a characteristic intensitybelow the light press intensity threshold (e.g., and above a nominalcontact-detection intensity threshold below which the contact is nolonger detected), the device will move a focus selector in accordancewith movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface withoutperforming an operation associated with the light press intensitythreshold or the deep press intensity threshold. Generally, unlessotherwise stated, these intensity thresholds are consistent betweendifferent sets of user interface figures.

An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensitybelow the light press intensity threshold to an intensity between thelight press intensity threshold and the deep press intensity thresholdis sometimes referred to as a “light press” input. An increase ofcharacteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the deeppress intensity threshold to an intensity above the deep press intensitythreshold is sometimes referred to as a “deep press” input. An increaseof characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below thecontact-detection intensity threshold to an intensity between thecontact-detection intensity threshold and the light press intensitythreshold is sometimes referred to as detecting the contact on thetouch-surface. A decrease of characteristic intensity of the contactfrom an intensity above the contact-detection intensity threshold to anintensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold is sometimesreferred to as detecting liftoff of the contact from the touch-surface.In some embodiments, the contact-detection intensity threshold is zero.In some embodiments, the contact-detection intensity threshold isgreater than zero.

In some embodiments described herein, one or more operations areperformed in response to detecting a gesture that includes a respectivepress input or in response to detecting the respective press inputperformed with a respective contact (or a plurality of contacts), wherethe respective press input is detected based at least in part ondetecting an increase in intensity of the contact (or plurality ofcontacts) above a press-input intensity threshold. In some embodiments,the respective operation is performed in response to detecting theincrease in intensity of the respective contact above the press-inputintensity threshold (e.g., a “down stroke” of the respective pressinput). In some embodiments, the press input includes an increase inintensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensitythreshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact belowthe press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation isperformed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensityof the respective contact below the press-input threshold (e.g., an “upstroke” of the respective press input).

FIGS. 5E-5H illustrate detection of a gesture that includes a pressinput that corresponds to an increase in intensity of a contact 562 froman intensity below a light press intensity threshold (e.g., “IT_(L)”) inFIG. 5E, to an intensity above a deep press intensity threshold (e.g.,“IT_(D)”) in FIG. 5H. The gesture performed with contact 562 is detectedon touch-sensitive surface 560 while cursor 576 is displayed overapplication icon 572B corresponding to App 2, on a displayed userinterface 570 that includes application icons 572A-572D displayed inpredefined region 574. In some embodiments, the gesture is detected ontouch-sensitive display 504. The intensity sensors detect the intensityof contacts on touch-sensitive surface 560. The device determines thatthe intensity of contact 562 peaked above the deep press intensitythreshold (e.g., “IT_(D)”), Contact 562 is maintained on touch-sensitivesurface 560. In response to the detection of the gesture, and inaccordance with contact 562 having an intensity that goes above the deeppress intensity threshold (e.g., “IT_(D)”) during the gesture,reduced-scale representations 578A-578C (e.g., thumbnails) of recentlyopened documents for App 2 are displayed, as shown in FIGS. 5F-5H. Insome embodiments, the intensity, which is compared to the one or moreintensity thresholds, is the characteristic intensity of a contact. Itshould be noted that the intensity diagram for contact 562 is not partof a displayed user interface, but is included in FIGS. 5E-5H to aid thereader.

In some embodiments, the display of representations 578A-578C includesan animation. For example, representation 578A is initially displayed inproximity of application icon 572B, as shown in FIG. 5F. As theanimation proceeds, representation 578A moves upward and representation578B is displayed in proximity of application icon 572B, as shown inFIG. 5G. Then representations 578A moves upward, 578B moves upwardtoward representation 578A, and representation 578C is displayed inproximity of application icon 572B, as shown in FIG. 5H. Representations578A-578C form an array above icon 572B. In some embodiments, theanimation progresses in accordance with an intensity of contact 562, asshown in FIGS. 5F-5G, where the representations 578A-578C appear andmove upwards as the intensity of contact 562 increases toward the deeppress intensity threshold (e.g., “IT_(D)”). In some embodiments theintensity, on which the progress of the animation is based, is thecharacteristic intensity of the contact. The operations described withreference to FIGS. 5E-5H can be performed using an electronic devicesimilar or identical to device 100, 300, or 500.

In some embodiments, the device employs intensity hysteresis to avoidaccidental inputs sometimes termed “jitter,” where the device defines orselects a hysteresis intensity threshold with a predefined relationshipto the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., the hysteresis intensitythreshold is X intensity units lower than the press-input intensitythreshold or the hysteresis intensity threshold is 75%, 90%, or somereasonable proportion of the press-input intensity threshold). Thus, insome embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity ofthe respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and asubsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresisintensity threshold that corresponds to the press-input intensitythreshold, and the respective operation is performed in response todetecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contactbelow the hysteresis intensity threshold (e.g., an “up stroke” of therespective press input). Similarly, in some embodiments, the press inputis detected only when the device detects an increase in intensity of thecontact from an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity thresholdto an intensity at or above the press-input intensity threshold and,optionally, a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact to anintensity at or below the hysteresis intensity, and the respectiveoperation is performed in response to detecting the press input (e.g.,the increase in intensity of the contact or the decrease in intensity ofthe contact, depending on the circumstances).

For ease of explanation, the descriptions of operations performed inresponse to a press input associated with a press-input intensitythreshold or in response to a gesture including the press input are,optionally, triggered in response to detecting either: an increase inintensity of a contact above the press-input intensity threshold, anincrease in intensity of a contact from an intensity below thehysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above the press-inputintensity threshold, a decrease in intensity of the contact below thepress-input intensity threshold, and/or a decrease in intensity of thecontact below the hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to thepress-input intensity threshold. Additionally, in examples where anoperation is described as being performed in response to detecting adecrease in intensity of a contact below the press-input intensitythreshold, the operation is, optionally, performed in response todetecting a decrease in intensity of the contact below a hysteresisintensity threshold corresponding to, and lower than, the press-inputintensity threshold.

As used herein, an “installed application” refers to a softwareapplication that has been downloaded onto an electronic device (e.g.,devices 100, 300, and/or 500) and is ready to be launched (e.g., becomeopened) on the device. In some embodiments, a downloaded applicationbecomes an installed application by way of an installation program thatextracts program portions from a downloaded package and integrates theextracted portions with the operating system of the computer system.

As used herein, the term “open application” or “executing application”refers to a software application with retained state information (e.g.,as part of device/global internal state 157 and/or application internalstate 192). An open or executing application is, optionally, any one ofthe following types of applications:

-   -   an active application, which is currently displayed on a display        screen of the device that the application is being used on;    -   a background application (or background processes), which is not        currently displayed, but one or more processes for the        application are being processed by one or more processors; and    -   a suspended or hibernated application, which is not running, but        has state information that is stored in memory (volatile and        non-volatile, respectively) and that can be used to resume        execution of the application.

As used herein, the term “closed application” refers to softwareapplications without retained state information (e.g., state informationfor closed applications is not stored in a memory of the device).Accordingly, closing an application includes stopping and/or removingapplication processes for the application and removing state informationfor the application from the memory of the device. Generally, opening asecond application while in a first application does not close the firstapplication. When the second application is displayed and the firstapplication ceases to be displayed, the first application becomes abackground application.

System Overview

FIG. 6 illustrates an example system 600 for aggregating wellness andother types of data. Wellness data can include, but is not limited to,any type of data associated with a person's health, such as theirphysical activity data, workout data, weight, heart rate, bloodpressure, blood glucose level, medication compliance, or the like.System 600 can be used to collect wellness data associated with a user,store the wellness data, present the wellness data to the user in usefulways, and selectively share the user's wellness data with other users orentities based on permissions set by the user. In addition, in someexamples, system 600 can further be used to collect non-wellness dataalong with wellness data, correlate the non-wellness data with thewellness data, and display the non-wellness data with the wellness data.

System 600 can include one or more user devices 610, which can includeany type of electronic device, such as a mobile phone, tablet computer,desktop computer, laptop computer, PDA, or the like. In some examples,user device 610 can include a device similar or identical to devices100, 300, or 500, described above. User device 610 can include anoperating system and a wellness database 611 (e.g., memory 102, 370, or518) for securely storing wellness or non-wellness data along withassociated metadata, such as the time the data was recorded, type ofdata, device used to record the data, user associated with the data, andthe like. User device 610 can further include application programminginterfaces (APIs) with access controls for storing data in the wellnessdatabase 611 and for accessing data stored in the wellness database 611.

User device 610 can be configured to receive wellness or non-wellnessdata from various sources and can store the received data in thewellness database 611. For example, user device 610 can be configured toreceive wellness or non-wellness data from sensors 602, 604, 606, and608. These sensors can include any type of sensor capable of obtainingwellness data, such as a biometric sensor, activity tracker, or thelike. For example, sensors 602, 604, 606, and 608 can include, but arenot limited to, a scale, blood pressure cuff, blood glucose monitor,electrocardiogram, step counter, gyroscope, accelerometer, SpO2 sensor,respiration sensor, posture sensor, stress sensor, photoplethysmogram,galvanic skin response sensor, temperature sensor, or the like. Sensors602, 604, 606, and 608 can also include other types of sensors, such asaudio sensors, ambient light sensors, electromagnetic sensors, touchsensors, capacitive sensors, and the like, for obtaining non-wellnessdata, such as situational data, temporal data, personal data, contactdata, and the like data. In some examples, each sensor can be a separatedevice, while, in other examples, any combination of two or more of thesensors can be included within a single device. For example, thegyroscope, accelerometer, photoplethysmogram, galvanic skin responsesensor, and temperature sensor can be included within a wearableelectronic device, such as a smart watch, while the scale, bloodpressure cuff, blood glucose monitor, SpO2 sensor, respiration sensor,posture sensor, stress sensor, and asthma inhaler can each be separatedevices. While specific examples are provided, it should be appreciatedthat other sensors can be used and other combinations of sensors can becombined into a single device.

Sensors 602, 604, 606, and 608 can be used to measure wellness ornon-wellness data continuously, intermittently, periodically, or at anyother desired frequency or interval of time. For example, sensors 602,604, 606, and 608 can be used to obtain a single measurement or multiplemeasurements over a length of time. Sensors 602, 604, 606, and 608 canbe configured to measure wellness or non-wellness data at the sameintervals of time, or can be configured to measure wellness ornon-wellness data at different intervals of time. These intervals may beset by a user or may be a default setting for each sensor. Additionally,sensors 602, 604, 606, 608 can be used to measure wellness ornon-wellness data at any time or location desired by the user. Moreover,sensors 602, 604, 606, and 608 can be used with or without thesupervision of a healthcare provider. For example, a user can usesensors 602, 604, 606, and 608 to obtain sensor measurements at homewithout the supervision of a medical professional.

In some examples, user device 610 can include software sensorapplications 613 (e.g., third party applications) associated with eachof sensors 602, 604, 606, and 608 for interfacing with the sensors toallow user device 610 to receive the wellness or non-wellness data. Inthese examples, the applications 613 can use the device's APIs to storethe wellness or non-wellness data in the wellness database 611 of userdevice 610. In some examples, device 610 can be a smart phone, tabletcomputer, or the like, and the software sensor applications 613 caninclude software applications downloadable onto device 610. It should beunderstood that “third party” can correspond to an entity different thanthe manufacturer of device 610 and/or the entity that created and/ormaintains the operating system of device 610. In these instances, thirdparty applications and their corresponding sensors can communicate andfunction within the operating system of device 610 according to apredefined device protocol associated with device 610.

The applications 613 can similarly use the device's APIs to access datastored in the wellness database 611. In other examples, user device 610can be configured to share one or more communication formats withsensors 602, 604, 606, and 608 to allow user device 610 to receive andinterpret the wellness or non-wellness data from the sensors. Thereceived data can then be stored in the wellness database 611 of userdevice 610.

User device 610 can further receive wellness or non-wellness data fromits own wellness or non-wellness data sensors 620 (e.g., sensors 168,359, and 520), from a user interacting with user device 610, fromanother entity, such as a physician, or from other non-sensor sources.For example, using the device's APIs, wellness or non-wellness data canbe received from applications 617 (third party or first partyapplications) on user device 610, such as a clock application, acalendaring application, a gaming application, an application from ahealthcare provider, a messaging application, a physical activityapplication, a workout application, or the like. The wellness ornon-wellness data from the applications 617 can originate from sensors620, a user interacting with the applications, a remote database (e.g.,database for a medical website), a healthcare provider institution(e.g., via the institution's application 617), or the like. In theseexamples, the usage of the application 617 (e.g., how long you play avideo game application, when you play the video game, number of timesinteracting with a stock application, number of times interacting with asocial networking application, length of time interacting with a socialnetworking application, etc.), usage of user device 610 (e.g., length oftime on the phone or number of text messages sent as determined from aphone payment application, time spent browsing the Internet asdetermined from the device's browser, etc.), time spent listening tomusic as determined from a music or streaming radio application, timespent using a remote application for controlling a television, amount oftime or money spent on shopping websites, weather data from a weatherapplication (e.g., to determine how weather affects a user's health),type of events occurring in the user's life as determined from acalendar (e.g., meetings, birthdays, holidays, etc.), interactions withcertain people as determined from a contact list and/or calendarapplication and/or a messaging application and/or phone of user device610, or the like, can be received by user device 610 and stored in thewellness database 611.

In some examples, default or user-selected settings can be provided torestrict the access that at least one application at least one ofapplications 613 and 617) on user device 610 has to the wellnessdatabase 611 of user device 610 (for both storage and retrievalpurposes) and to the sensor data generated by sensors 620 within userdevice 610 and/or sensor data generated by sensors 602, 604, 606, and608. For example, an application for tracking a user's running sessionscan be granted access to the data generated by the GPS sensor of userdevice 610, but can be prevented from accessing the user's bloodpressure data stored in the wellness database 611. In some examples, anentity other than the owner of user device 610 can set the authorizationsettings for various applications on user device 610. For example, themanufacturer of user device 610 and/or the entity that created and/ormaintains the operating system of user device 610 can evaluate theapplications to determine if they should be given access to the user'swellness data and/or sensor data generated or received by user device610. In some examples, these settings can be overridden by the user.User device 610 can further include a display for displaying the storedwellness data or non-wellness data.

FIG. 7 illustrates system 700 for sharing user wellness data. System 700can include user server 714 communicatively coupled to user device 610via network 712, which can include the Internet, an intranet, or anyother wired or wireless public or private network. User device 610 canbe configured to securely transmit the aggregated wellness ornon-wellness data and associated metadata stored on the device to userserver 714 for storage in user database 716. In some examples, thewellness or non-wellness data and associated metadata can be transmittedto user server 714 for storage in user database 716 in response to anexplicit request for such a transfer by the user of device 610, while,in other examples, the wellness or non-wellness data can be synced withthe data in user database 716 continuously, periodically,intermittently, or at any desired frequency. In yet other examples, theuser's wellness or non-wellness data can be stored only on user device610 and may not be stored in an external database.

In some examples, user server 714 and user database 716 can beconfigured to securely store a user's wellness or non-wellness datausing a public/private key system that only allows the owner of thewellness or non-wellness data to decrypt the data. Additionally, thewellness or non-wellness data stored in user database 716 can be storedanonymously (e.g., without identifying and/or personal information aboutthe user, such as a legal name, username, time and location data, or thelike). In this way, other users, hackers, and the owner/operator of userdatabase 716 cannot determine the identity of the user associated withthe data stored in database 716. In some examples, a user can accesstheir wellness or non-wellness data stored in user database 716 from auser device that is different than the one used to upload the wellnessor non-wellness data to user server 714. In these instances, the usercan be required to provide login credentials to access their wellness ornon-wellness data. User server 714 can be configured to perform theauthorization process to restrict access to the data within userdatabase 716.

System 700 can further include any number of other user devices 722 and724 coupled to network 712, in some examples, user devices 722 and 724can be operated by the same user as user device 610. In these instances,the user can access their wellness or non-wellness data stored in userdatabase 716 by providing user server 714 with the appropriatecredentials. In some examples, wellness and non-wellness data can besynced between user database 716 and one or more of user device 610,722, and 724. In other examples, the user of user devices 722 and 724can be a person that is different than the user of user device 610. Inthese examples, the users of devices 722 and 724 cannot access thewellness or non-wellness data of the user of user device 610 without theauthorization of the user of user device 610. If authorization is given,wellness or non-wellness data can be shared with the users of userdevices 722 and 724.

In some examples, any of the above described sources of wellness ornon-wellness data can be configured to measure, generate, or receivewellness or non-wellness data continuously, intermittently,periodically, or at any other desired frequency or interval of time. Assuch, the wellness or non-wellness data can similarly be stored orupdated in wellness database 611 or user database 716 continuously,intermittently, periodically, or at any other desired frequency orinterval of time. The frequencies and intervals of time used formeasuring, generating, receiving, or storing wellness or non-wellnesscan be the same or they can be different. Additionally, thesefrequencies and intervals can be default values or they can be set by auser to provide the user with wellness or non-wellness data that hasbeen updated within a desired length of time.

While not shown, it should be appreciated that many other user devicescan be coupled to user server 714 through network 712 to collect andstore wellness or non-wellness data for other users in a manner similarto that described above.

Activity Monitor

FIG. 8 illustrates an exemplary interface 800 for displaying a menu ofapplications on an electronic device, such as device 100, 300, 500, or610. As shown, interface 800 includes multiple application icons 802that, when selected by a user, causes the electronic device to open theassociated application. For example, in response to a user selection ofan application icon 802 corresponding to an application for monitoring auser's physical activity, an interface similar to interface 900, shownin FIG. 9, can be displayed. As shown, interface 900 can include adescription of the physical activity application and a page indicator902 indicating that other pages are available for viewing. In responseto a user selection to view another page, such as a swipe gesture fromthe right of the display to the left of the display, interface 1000,shown in FIG. 10, can be displayed. As shown, interface 1000 can includea description of a first goal of the physical activity application andthe page indicator 902. In response to a user selection to view anotherpage, such as a swipe gesture from the right of the display to the leftof the display, interface 1100, shown in FIG. 11, can be displayed. Asshown, interface 1100 can include a description of a second goal of thephysical activity application and the page indicator 902. In response toa user selection to view another page, such as a swipe gesture from theright of the display to the left of the display, interface 1200, shownin FIG. 12, can be displayed. As shown, interface 1200 can include adescription of a third goal of the physical activity application and thepage indicator 902. In response to a user selection to view anotherpage, such as a swipe gesture from the right of the display to the leftof the display, interface 1300, shown in FIG. 13, can be displayed. Asshown, interface 1300 can include a summary description of the threegoals of the physical activity application and the page indicator 902.

In some examples, in response to a user selection of the “Get Started”option of interface 1300, an interface similar to interface 1400, shownin FIG. 14, can be displayed. As shown, interface 1400 can includeselectable attribute elements 1402 for entering various user attributes,such as the user's sex, age, weight, and height. In response to aselection of any of elements 1402, the electronic device can display aninterface to allow the user to enter the desired attribute value. Theinterface can include any type of input mechanism, such as a text box, alist of values, a pull-down menu, or the like. In response to the userentering a particular attribute value, the electronic device can storethe entered information in the memory of the device and/or in a remotedatabase.

In some examples, the interfaces shown in FIGS. 9-13 can be displayedeach time the physical activity application is opened. In otherexamples, the interfaces shown in FIGS. 9-13 can only be displayed thefirst time that the physical activity application is opened. In someexamples, the electronic device can determine, before displayinginterface 1400, whether the user attributes (e.g., sex, age, weight, andheight) are available on the electronic device or an accessible remotedatabase. If it is determined that the user attributes are available,the electronic device may not display interface 1400. If it is insteaddetermined that some or all of the user attributes are unavailable, theelectronic device can display interface 1400. Since the electronicdevice can store the user attributes entered using interface 1400,interface 1400 may only be displayed the first time that physicalactivity application is opened.

In some examples, after displaying some or all of the interfaces shownin FIGS. 9-13 (or directly after displaying interface 800 if theinterfaces shown in FIGS. 9-13 are not displayed), the electronic devicecan perform process 1500, shown in FIG. 15, for generating and updatinga physical activity tracking interface. Process 1500 can be performedusing a device similar or identical to device 100, 300, 500, or 610 andcan include detecting movement associated with the device, recognizingit as being associated with a physical activity performed by the userusing the device, monitoring various attributes of the detected physicalactivity, and displaying one or more attributes of the physical activityon a display of the device. Some operations in process 1500 may becombined, the order of some operations may be changed, and someoperations may be omitted.

As described below, process 1500 provides an intuitive way to monitorattributes of a user's physical activity or inactivity and generate userinterfaces for displaying the same. The process reduces the cognitiveburden on a user when monitoring attributes of the user's physicalactivity or inactivity, thereby creating a more efficient human-machineinterface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user tomonitor attributes of the user's physical activity or inactivity andgenerate user interfaces for displaying the same more quickly and moreefficiently conserves power and increases the time between batterycharges.

At block 1502, the one or more processors of the device can cause, onthe display of the device, a display of a physical activity trackinginterface. The physical activity tracking interface can include anynumber of indicators representing any number of monitored attributes ofa user's physical activity. The indicators of the physical activitytracking interface can be updated in real-time in response to updates tothe values of the monitored attributes of physical activity. In thisway, the display of the device can provide real-time information aboutthe user's monitored physical activity. The indicator can include atext, an image, or combination thereof. For example, an animated imagecan be used to show a progression or otherwise changing status of amonitored attribute. In some examples, block 1502 can further includedisplaying additional indicators to provide more information about themonitored attributes, such as a goal value for each of the monitoredvalues, a progressive measure of the monitored values compared torespective goal values, an automatically adjusting goal value based on apassage of time (e.g., 10% of a whole goal value in the morninggradually being adjusted to increase the percentage as the time passes,etc.), a history of past physical activity (e.g., the highest/lowest, ordaily average over a month, a week, two days, last day, etc.), any ofthe above information associated with other users (e.g., thehighest/lowest, or daily average amount of physical activity performedby other users different from the user of the device), or the like.Information associated with other users wearing devices other than thedevice performing process 1500 can be collected through an externalserver that is configured to communicate with such devices. FIGS. 17-21,discussed in greater detail below, illustrate example physical activitytracking interfaces that can be displayed at block 1502 of process 1500.

At block 1504, one or more processors of the device can receive activitydata that is representative of sensed physical activity of a user froman activity sensor (e.g., sensors 168, 359, and 520). At block 1506, theone or more processors can process the received activity data todetermine whether the activity data indicates that a physical activity,as opposed to a gesture, has been performed by the user of the device.In some examples, the occurrence of a physical activity by the user canbe determined by analyzing the activity data and determining whether itreflects one or more characteristics that are associated with a userperforming a physical activity while wearing the device. Suchcharacteristics can include a minimum displacement per unit time, aspeed, a rate of change of body temperature, or the like.

After determining that a physical activity has been performed by theuser, the processor(s) can determine, at block 1508, a type of thedetected physical activity. This determination can be based on at leastthe activity data and a predetermined set of criteria for a certain typeof activity. The device can categorize detected physical activities intoany number of categories (e.g., 1 or more) and monitor differentattributes for each category. For example, the device can categorizedetected physical activities of a user of the device into twocategories—a first type and a second type. In some examples, the firsttype of physical activity can refer to all detected physical activitiesof a user of the device. The second type of physical activity can referto physical activities that satisfy certain required conditions that,for example, can include having activity intensities equal to or greaterthan a threshold intensity. Alternatively, the second type of physicalactivity can refer to physical activities that have intensities lessthan a threshold intensity. A threshold intensity can be represented asa distance traveled, a number of Calories burned, a number of stepstaken, any one or more of these attributes calculated per unit time, orthe like. In some examples, the device can adjust a threshold for one ormore categories of activities depending on the identified type of thedetected physical activity. For instance, the device can categorizeactivities as being of a second type if they have an activity intensityequal to or greater than a threshold intensity (e.g., a high intensity,an intensity corresponding to a brisk walk, etc.). This thresholdintensity can vary depending on whether the detected activity is awalking activity (in which case the threshold can be represented as aminimum number of steps taken per unit time), a running activity (inwhich case the threshold can be represented as a minimum distancetravelled per unit time), or all other types of activity (in which casethe threshold can be represented as a minimum number of Calories burnedper unit time). It should be appreciated that conditions other than theintensity level can be used to categorize physical activities, forexample, time(s) of a day when physical activity is detected (e.g., acategory for morning activities, another category for day activities, oranother category for evening activities, etc.), predetermined type(s) ofphysical activity (e.g., a category for standing activities, walkingactivities, running activities, etc.), or the like. One or moreconditions can be used alone or in combination to define a category or atype of physical activity.

In some examples, the first type of activity can refer to activity thatmeets a first set of criteria, a second type of activity can refer toactivity that meets a second set of criteria, a third type of activitycan refer to activity that meets a third set of criteria, and so on. Inthe determination process, the processor(s) of the device can determinewhether the activity data indicates that the associated physicalactivity meets the first set of criteria, the second set of criteria,and/or the third se of criteria (or other sets of criteria). Thecriteria can include any information detectable by the activity sensors,such as a speed greater than or equal to a threshold, a minimum numberof steps taken per unit time, a minimum amount of Calories burned perunit time, etc. In some examples, the different sets of criteria can benested such that the third type of activity is a subset of the secondtype, which can be a subset of the first type. In other examples, thedifferent sets of criteria can cause the types of activity to bemutually exclusive. In yet other examples, the different sets ofcriteria can cause the types of activity to be partially overlapping.

In some examples, the processor(s) can categorize a user's activity asbeing a first type of activity representing all forms of physicalactivity or a second type of activity representing physical activityequal to or greater than a threshold intensity (or, alternatively, lessthan the threshold intensity). In such cases, a first set of criteriafor the first type can simply require that the activity be a physicalactivity (rather than a gesture) and a second set of criteria for thesecond type can require having an intensity greater than or equal to(or, alternatively, less than) the threshold intensity. Intensity can bemeasured using any number of attributes of an activity, including butnot limited to, a distance traveled, a speed, a number of Caloriesburned, a number of steps taken, any one or more of these attributescalculated per unit time, or the like. Intensity can also be associatedwith a biological condition detectable by biometric sensors, includingbut not limited to, a heart rate, an amount of heat, or a rate of changein any of the foregoing conditions, etc. In some examples, the thresholdintensity of the second set of criteria can correspond to the intensityof a brisk walk or 3 Metabolic Equivalent of Tasks (METs). According tothe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a brisk walk iswalking at a pace of three to three and a half miles per hour or roughly20 minutes per mile. That equates to approximately five kilometers perhour or 12 minutes per kilometer. While example types of physicalactivity are provided above, it should be appreciated that other typesof physical activity can be used (e.g., standing, running, climbing,etc.).

In some examples, the criteria used by the device to determine type(s)of activity can be pre-set in the device. In other examples, thecriteria can be directly input by a user, such that the user cancustomize which activities are going to be monitored separately fromothers. In yet other examples, the criteria can be automaticallycalculated by the device based on the user's health information. Theuser's health information can be input by a user and can refer to user'sage, weight, gender, body mass index (BMI), average heart rate, averageblood pressure, or the like. Alternatively, the user's healthinformation can be stored in an external device configured tocommunicate with the device such that the device can receive the data togenerate customized criteria for the user of the device. In otherexamples, the external device can determine the customized criteria forthe user of the device and can transmit the determined criteria to thedevice.

At block 1510, the processor(s) can update the monitored attributes ofthe detected physical activity. The monitored attributes of the detectedactivity can be expressed in any standard, arbitrary, or other unit ofmeasurement, such as Calories burned, amount of time spent, distancetravelled, number of steps, etc. The monitored attributes of differenttypes of physical activity can be the same or different. Additionally,the monitored attributes can be stored as values in a memory or storage,and updating the monitored attributes at block 1510 can include updatingthese stored values. For example, if the detected movement of the devicecorresponds to a physical activity of a first type and not of any othertype, a stored value representing the aggregate amount of the first typeof activity can be updated at block 1510, and other stored valuesrepresenting other types of activity may not be updated. The updatingprocess can be performed in real-time in response to a detection of anynew physical activity to the extent that the detected physical activityhas attributes that are being monitored by the device.

Blocks 1502, 1504, 1506, 1508, and 1510 can be repeated any number oftimes and at any desired interval of time to detect a user's physicalactivity and to update the display of the physical activity trackinginterface accordingly. Additionally, it should be appreciated that whileblocks 1502, 1504, 1506, 1508, and 1510 are shown in a particular order,blocks 1502, 1504, 1506, 1508, and 1510 can be performed in any order,at the same time, or some of the blocks can be omitted. For example, thephysical activity tracking interface can be repeatedly updated at block1502 while activity data is being received at block 1504 and processedto update the monitored attributes at blocks 1506, 1508, and 1510 toprovide the user with current or real-time physical activityinformation. In other examples where the physical activity applicationis running in the background of the device or while the display of thedevice is deactivated, block 1502 can be omitted and blocks 1504, 1506,1508, and 1510 can repeatedly be performed to monitor the user'sphysical activity and update the monitored attributes such that anaccurate display of the attributes can later be provided to the userwhen the physical activity application is reopened or the display of thedevice is activated.

Note that details of the processes described above with respect tomethod 1500 (e.g., FIG. 15) are also applicable in an analogous mannerto the methods described below. For example, methods 1600, 2200, 2400,4000, 4800, 7900, 8600, and 9200 may include one or more of thecharacteristics of the various methods described above with reference tomethod 1500. For example, the activity data, activity types, displayedvalues and other elements described above with reference to method 1500optionally have one or more of the characteristics of the activity data,activity types, displayed values and other elements described herein(e.g., methods 1600, 2200, 2400, 4000, 4800, 7900, 8600, and 9200). Forbrevity, these details are not repeated below.

FIG. 16 illustrates an exemplary process 1600 for determining a typephysical activity and updating monitored attributes of the type physicalactivity. Process 1600 can be performed using a device similar oridentical to device 100, 300, 500, or 610 and can be used to performblocks 1604, 1608, and 1612 of process 1600. In the illustrated example,process 1600 can be used to determine if a physical activity fallswithin one or both of two types of physical activities—a first type anda second type. The first type of physical activity can be a physicalactivity that meets a first set of criteria, and the second type ofphysical activity can be a physical activity that meets a second set ofcriteria. In some examples, the first type of activity can be a physicalactivity detectable by the device, and the second type of activity canbe a physical activity that has an intensity greater than or equal to athreshold intensity. Some operations in process 1600 may be combined,the order of some operations may be changed, and some operations may beomitted.

As described below, process 1600 provides an intuitive way to monitorattributes of a user's physical activity or inactivity and generate userinterfaces for displaying the same. The process reduces the cognitiveburden on a user when monitoring attributes of the user's physicalactivity or inactivity, thereby creating a more efficient human-machineinterface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user tomonitor attributes of the user's physical activity or inactivity andgenerate user interfaces for displaying the same more quickly and moreefficiently conserves power and increases the time between batterycharges.

At block 1602, the activity data received at block 1504 of process 1500can be used to determine whether the physical activity represented bythe activity data corresponds to a first type based on a predeterminedfirst set of criteria. This can include determining whether the physicalactivity meets each criterion of the first set of criteria. For example,the first set of criteria can simply require that the physical activitybe a physical activity (as opposed to a gesture). In this example, block1602 can include determining whether the activity data represents aphysical activity rather than a gesture. If it is determined that thephysical activity represented by the activity data meets the first setof criteria, process 1600 can proceed to block 1604. Alternatively, ifit is determined at block 1602 that the physical activity represented bythe activity data does not meet the first set of criteria, process 1600can bypass the updating of the first value of block 1604.

At block 1604, a first value representing an attribute of the first typeof activity can be updated. The attribute can include any desiredattribute, such as an amount, an intensity level, a duration, a progressrelative to a set value, a trend over a time period, or the like, of theactivity. For example, the first value can represent an aggregate amountof active and/or resting Calories expended by the user in performing thefirst type of activity over a predetermined period of time (e.g., aday). In this example, the updating process performed at block 1604 caninclude adding, to a previously stored first value (representingpreviously measured. Calories expended by the user), a value calculatedfrom the activity data that represents an amount of Calories expended bythe user in performing the recently detected physical activity.

Before, during, or after performing blocks 1602 and 1604, block 1606 canbe performed to determine whether the physical activity represented bythe activity data corresponds to a second type based on a predeterminedsecond set of criteria. Block 1606 can be similar to block 1602, exceptthat block 1606 can include determining whether the physical activitymeets each criterion of the second set of criteria. In some examples,the second set of criteria can cause the second type of physicalactivity to be mutually exclusive from the first type of physicalactivity. In other examples, the second set of criteria can cause thesecond type of physical activity to be partially overlapping with thefirst type of physical activity. In yet other examples, the second setof criteria can encompass the first set of criteria, such that thesecond type of physical activity can be a subset of the first type ofphysical activity. For example, the second set of criteria can requirethat the physical activity have an intensity that is equal to or greaterthan a threshold intensity (e.g., 3 METs, a threshold movement speed of3.5 miles per hour or a brisk walk, etc.). In this example, block 1606can include determining whether the activity data represents the usermoving at a speed that is greater than or equal to 3.5 miles per hour.If it is determined that the physical activity represented by theactivity data meets the second set of criteria, process 1600 can proceedto block 1608. Alternatively, if it is determined at block 1606 that thephysical activity represented by the activity data does not meet thesecond set of criteria, process 1600 can bypass the updating of thesecond value of block 1608.

At block 1608, a second value representing an attribute of the secondtype of activity can be updated. The attribute can include any desiredattribute, such as an amount, an intensity level, a duration, a progressrelative to a set value, a trend over a time period, or the like, of theactivity. For example, the second value can represent a duration of timethat the user performs the second type of activity over a predeterminedperiod of time (e.g., a day). In this example, the updating processperformed at block 1608 can include adding, to a previously storedsecond value (representing a previously measured duration of time thatthe user was performing the second type of activity), a value calculatedfrom the activity data that represents a duration of time that the userwas engaged in the second type of activity in performing the recentlydetected physical activity.

The attributes being monitored and updated for each of the types ofactivities can be the same or different. For example, the monitoredattribute of both the first and second types of activities can beCalories expended. Alternatively, the monitored attribute of the firsttype of activity can be Calories expended, while the monitored attributeof the second type of activity can be a duration of time performing thesecond type of activity. Additionally, the period of time over which thefirst and second types of activities are monitored can be the same ordifferent. For example, if different periods are used, the amount of thefirst type of physical activity can be aggregated over a day, while theamount of the second type of physical activity can be aggregated overtwo days. It should be appreciated that many other different periods oftime can be used to monitor each of the attributes.

In some examples, process 1600 can include additional determinationpaths (e.g., a third determination path represented by the dotted pathattached to blocks 1610 and 1612) to determine whether the physicalactivity corresponds to other types of activity. For example, block 1610can be performed before, during, or after performing blocks 1602, 1604,1606, and/or 1608 and can include determining whether the physicalactivity represented by the activity data corresponds to a third typebased on a predetermined third set of criteria. In some examples, thethird set of criteria can include both the first set of criteria and thesecond set of criteria, causing the third type of physical activity tobe a subset of the second type and a subset of the first type ofphysical activities. In other examples, the third set of criteria can beonly partially overlapping with the second set of criteria and/or thefirst set of criteria, or entirely mutually exclusive with respect toboth or either set. For example, the first, second, and third sets ofcriteria can be configured such that the first type includes a physicalactivity detectable (and recognizable as a physical activity rather thana gesture) by the device, the second type includes only a physicalactivity that has an intensity equal to or greater than a firstthreshold intensity (or an activity in which the user is standing), andthe third type includes only physical activities that have an intensitylower than a second threshold intensity. It should be appreciated thatthere can be numerous other ways to configure the criteria.

While FIG. 16 shows the detection of only three types of activities, itshould be appreciated that process 1600 can be used to determine anynumber of physical activity types and to update monitored attributes forthose physical activity types. For example, process 1600 can continue todetermine whether a physical activity corresponds to a fourth type, afifth type, sixth type, and so one, each followed by their respectiveupdating process, similar to the process shown in the illustratedexample. Additionally, while the blocks of process 1600 are shown anddescribed in a particular order, it should be appreciated that theblocks can be performed in other orders or at the same time. Forexample, the activity data can be used to determine whether the physicalactivity corresponds to the first, second, and third types at blocks1602, 1606, and 1610, respectively, at the same time or in anysequential order.

Referring back to FIG. 15, after performing process 1600 at blocks 1508and 1510, process 1500 can return to block 1502. At block 1502, theprocessor(s) may cause, on the display of the device, an updated displayof the indicators representative of each of the monitored values—e.g.,the first value, the second value, and the third value (if one exists).In some examples, the indicator may include a first indicatorrepresenting attributes of only the first value, a second indicatorrepresenting attributes of only the second value, and a third indicatorrepresenting attributes of only the third value. The first, second, andthird indicators can be simultaneously displayed on the display oralternatingly displayed. Each of the indicators can include one or moreof graphic images, animations, texts or other visual representations. Insome other examples, the indicators can include sound effects, hapticeffects, or any other non-visual effects. Further, one or moreindicators can be used to alert the user for occurrence of certainconditions, such as a continued inactivity of the user for a certainlength of time, a detection of a new physical activity, or anachievement of a daily goal, or the like. These indicatorsadvantageously provide a user glancing at the indicators with anoverview of their physical activity.

Note that details of the processes described above with respect tomethod 1600 (e.g., FIG. 16) are also applicable in an analogous mannerto the other methods described herein. For example, methods 1500, 2200,2400, 4000, 4800, 7900, 8600, and 9200 may include one or more of thecharacteristics of the various methods described above with reference tomethod 1600. For example, the activity data, activity types, displayedvalues and other elements described above with reference to method 1600optionally have one or more of the characteristics of the activity data,activity types, displayed values and other elements described herein(e.g., methods 1500, 2200, 2400, 4000, 4800, 7900, 8600, and 9200). Forbrevity, these details are not repeated.

FIGS. 17-21 illustrate different example interfaces that can bedisplayed on the device at block 1502 of process 1500. In theseexamples, the device is assumed to be a daily activity monitor thatcategorizes a user's physical activity into a first type (based on afirst set of criteria) and a second type (based on a second set ofcriteria), and monitors a daily aggregate amount of each type of theuser's activity. The first type can include a physical activitydetectable (e.g., recognizable as a physical activity as opposed to agesture) by the device, and the second type can include a physicalactivity that has an intensity equal to or greater than a thresholdintensity. While specific example parameters are described below, itshould be appreciated that different parameters can be used to configurethe device. For example, the device can monitor a user's activity overdifferent periods of time (e.g., 5 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 48 hours, aweek, etc.), can monitor a different number of types of activities(e.g., one, three, four, etc.), and/or can monitor different types ofactivities. Further, the device can monitor attributes other than anaggregate amount for each of the monitored types, such as an averageamount over a period of time, a frequency of activity, a maximum or aminimum amount, etc.

FIG. 17 illustrates an example physical activity tracking interface 1700that can be displayed at block 1502 of process 1500. Interface 1700 canbe updated in real time or any other desired interval of time to reflectcurrent values of the monitored attributes of the user's physicalactivity that are updated at block 1510 of process 1500. In someexamples, interface 1700 can reflect the values representative of thedaily total amount of the first type and the second type of physicalactivities that are stored in the memory and updated in response todetection of any new physical activity, as explained above in referenceto blocks 1508 and 1510 of process 1500.

In the illustrated example of FIG. 17, interface 1700 can include afirst indicator representative of the daily total amount of the firsttype of physical activity including all physical activities detectedfrom the user, and a second indicator representative of the daily totalamount of the second type of activity including only physical activitiesat or above a threshold intensity. The first indicator can include bothgraphic/image representation 1702 and textual representation 1706, andsimilarly, the second indicator can include both graphic imagerepresentation 1704 and textual representation 1708. The first andsecond indicators can be updated in real time or any other desiredinterval of time in response to an update to the corresponding valuesstored in the memory as explained above in reference to blocks 1508 and1510 of process 1500.

In some examples, the memory of the device can store a first goal valuerepresentative of a daily goal amount for the first type and a secondgoal value representative of a daily goal amount for the second type ofphysical activities. In some examples, the first goal value can berepresented in the same measurement metric used to quantify the firsttype, and the second goal value can be represented in the samemeasurement metric used to quantify the second type of physicalactivity. In the illustrated example, the amount of the first type ofactivity is represented using the amount of Calories burned, and thus,the numeric value of the first goal value stored in the memoryrepresents the goal amount of Calories to be burned by the user per day(e.g., 300 Calories, 500 Calories, 1000 Calories, 2000 Calories, etc).On the other hand, the amount of the second type of activity can berepresented using the amount of time spent performing the second type ofphysical activity, and thus, the numeric value of the second goal valuestored in the memory represents the goal amount of time to be spent bythe user for performing high intensity activities per day (e.g., 30minutes, 40 minutes, 60 minutes, etc.).

In some examples, as the aggregate amounts of the first and second typesof activities are updated, the one or more processors can compare theseupdated aggregate amounts to the respective goal values stored in thememory and cause, on the display, a display of the result of thecomparison. For example, graphic representation 1702 can represent afirst goal value and/or the user's progress toward reaching this goal.The size of graphic representation 1702 can be scaled such that its sizerepresents the first goal amount, and a portion of graphicrepresentation 1702 can be marked such that the marked portionrepresents the actual amount of the first type of activity performed bythe user. Alternatively or additionally, graphic representation 1702 caninclude a first portion (e.g., part 1702 a) that is representative ofthe total amount of the first type of activity (e.g., all activity)performed by the user and a second portion (e.g., part 1702 b) that isrepresentative of a difference between the total amount of the firsttype of activity and the first goal value. In other words, part 1702 ashows what user has achieved and part 1702 b shows what user needs toachieve to complete their goal. As shown, the first portion can be givena color or shading that differs from that of the second portion. In someexamples, the leading edge of the completed portion 1702 a of the ringcan be displayed having a different appearance or texture than thetrailing parts of the completed portion 1702 a of the ring. For example,the leading edge of the completed portion 1702 a of the ring (e.g., theleading edge as the completed portion traverses the ring in theclockwise direction) can be displayed in a brighter shade of a color,while the trailing parts of the completed portion of the ring can bedisplayed in a darker shade of the same color. This allows a user toeasily view their progress towards the goal. Additionally, in someexamples, if the current value of the value represented by portion 1702a exceeds the goal value, the leading edge of the completed portion 1702a of the ring can continue to traverse the ring and overlap a previouslycompleted portion of the ring. By displaying the leading edge using adifferent shade or texture, the user can distinguish the leading edgefrom a previously completed portion of the ring. Further, a ratiobetween a size of the first portion and a size of the second portion canbe equal to a ratio between the total amount of the first type ofactivity performed by the user and the difference between the totalamount of the first type of activity performed by the user and the firstgoal value.

In some examples, graphic representation 1704 can also represent asecond goal value and/or a user's progress toward reaching this goal.The size of graphic representation 1704 can be scaled such that its sizerepresents the second goal amount, and a portion of graphicrepresentation 1704 can be marked such that the marked portionrepresents the actual amount of the second type of activity performed bythe user. Alternatively or additionally, graphic representation 1704 caninclude a third portion (e.g., part 1704 a) that is representative ofthe total amount of the second type of activity (e.g., activity above athreshold intensity) performed by the user and a fourth portion (e.g.,part 1704 b) that is representative of a difference between the totalamount of the second type of activity and the second goal value. Inother words, part 1704 a shows what user has achieved and part 1704 bshows what user needs to achieve to complete their goal. In someexamples, the leading edge of the completed portion 1704 a of the ringcan be displayed having a different appearance or texture than thetrailing parts of the completed portion 1704 a of the ring. For example,the leading edge of the completed portion 1704 a of the ring (e.g., theleading edge as the completed portion traverses the ring in theclockwise direction) can be displayed in a brighter shade of a color,while the trailing parts of the completed portion of the ring can bedisplayed in a darker shade of the same color. This allows a user toeasily view their progress towards the goal. Additionally, in someexamples, if the current value of the value represented by portion 1704a exceeds the goal value, the leading edge of the completed portion 1704a of the ring can continue to traverse the ring and overlap a previouslycompleted portion of the ring. By displaying the leading edge using adifferent shade or texture, the user can distinguish the leading edgefrom a previously completed portion of the ring. Further, a ratiobetween a size of the third portion and a size of the fourth portion canbe equal to a ratio between the total amount of the second type ofactivity performed by the user and the difference between the totalamount of the second type of activity performed by the user and thesecond goal value.

In the illustrated example of FIG. 17, graphic representation 1702 is anouter ring and graphic representation 1704 is an inner ring that isconcentric to the outer ring. Each ring has two visually distinct parts.The outer ring has visually distinct parts 1702 a and 1702 b, and theinner ring has visually distinct parts 1704 a and 1704 b. These partscan be scaled to visually indicate relative progressive measures of thetotal amount of the first and second types of activities compared totheir respective goal values. In the illustrated example, outer ring1702 can be scaled such that the entire length of its circumference(1702 a+1702 b) represents the daily goal for the all activity (thefirst goal value). Part 1702 a of the ring can be configured torepresent the actual amount of activity performed by the user (e.g., thefirst value updated at block 1604), and the second part 1702 b can beconfigured to represent the amount of activity remaining to be completedby the user to achieve the goal. Respective size of parts 1702 a and1702 b can be updated in real-time to reflect the most currentprogressive measure of the total amount of all activity, as compared tothe first goal value. For example, as additional activity is detected,part 1702 a can be increased in size and part 1702 b can be decreased insize to give the appearance that the leading edge of part 1702 a istraveling in a clockwise direction along outer ring 1702. Ring parts1702 a and 1702 b can be scaled such that a ratio between the entirecircumference of ring 1702 and ring part 1702 a is equal to a ratiobetween the first goal value and the total amount of activity performedby the user.

Similarly, inner ring 1704 can be scaled such that the entire length ofits circumference (1704 a+1704 b) represents the second goal value(e.g., the daily goal amount for activity above a threshold intensity).Part 1704 a of the ring can represent the actual amount of activityabove the threshold intensity performed by the user while the secondpart 1704 b can represent the amount of activity above the thresholdintensity remaining to be completed by the user to achieve the secondgoal value. Respective size of parts 1704 a and 1704 b can be updated inreal-time to reflect the most current progressive measure of the user'stotal amount of activity above the threshold intensity, as compared tothe second goal value. For example, as additional activity above thethreshold intensity is detected and monitored at blocks 1504, 1506,1508, and 1510 of process 1500 by the device, part 1704 a can beincreased in size while part 1704 b can be decreased in size to give theappearance that the leading edge of part 1704 a is traveling in aclockwise direction along inner ring 1704. Ring parts 1704 a and 1704 bcan be scaled such that a ratio between the entire circumference of ring1704 and ring part 1704 a is equal to a ratio between the second goalvalue and the total amount of activity above the threshold intensityperformed by the user.

In the illustrated example of FIG. 17, the first goal value can be 1000Calories and the second goal value can be 40 minutes. In other words,the user's goal is to burn at least 1000 Calories per day regardless ofthe types of physical activity performed, and to perform at least 40minutes of exercise or activity above the threshold intensity per day.Text indicator 1706 shows that the user has burned a total of 750Calories by 6:15 p.m., which is the time shown by time indicator 1712.There can be another text indicator to indicate the actual value of thefirst goal or a text indicator to indicate the amount of the first typeof activity remaining (e.g., 250 Calories in this example) beforeachieving the first goal. Text indicator 1708 shows that the user hasspent a total of 20 minutes exercising or performing activity above thethreshold intensity by 6:15 p.m. There can be another text indicator toindicate the actual value of the second goal or a text indicator toindicate the amount of the second type of activity remaining (e.g., 20minutes in this example) before achieving the second goal. Since theuser has completed three-fourths of the first goal for all activity(e.g., burned 750 Calories out of the 1000 Calorie goal), part 1702 acan be configured to occupy approximately three-fourths of the entirecircumference of ring 1702. Similarly, since the user has completed halfof the second goal for activity having an intensity equal to or greaterthan a threshold intensity (e.g., spent 20 minutes out of the 40 minutegoal), part 1704 a can be configured to occupy approximately half of theentire circumference of ring 1704. As more activity or activity havingan intensity equal to or greater than the threshold intensity, part 1702a/1704 a can be animated to be increased in size while part 1702 b/1704b can be animated to be decreased in size.

Visually distinct parts of rings 1702 and 1704 permit a user of thedevice to readily recognize relative progressive measures of themonitored activity. The visual distinction is, in the illustratedexample, filled area (e.g., parts 1702 a and 1704 a) versus empty area(e.g., parts 1702 b and 1704 b). However, it is noted that differenteffects may be used to make the visual distinction, examples of whicheffects include, but are not limited to, applying different colors,hues, shapes, images, animations, intensity, brightness, or othereffects of the same sort. Further, as shown in the illustrated example,interface 1700 can include text indicators 1706, 1708, and 1712. Thefonts, sizes, and locations of the text indicators can vary depending onthe display specifications and any other desired visual configurations.

The goal values (e.g., the first goal value and the second goal value)can be directly inputted by a user of the device before the monitoringstarts. In other examples, the goal values can be automatically set bythe device based at least on user's health data (e.g., received usinginterface 1400), which may be stored in the device or in an externaldevice configured to communicate with the device. Health data caninclude information relating to the user's age, weight, gender, BMI,blood pressure, heart rate, or any other physical conditions. The deviceand/or the external device can perform predetermined computinginstructions (e.g., algorithms) on any portion of the user's health datato automatically determine the goal values. The goal values can bedetermined based on the user's progress over a certain period of timeand/or the training level selected by the user. Moreover, the goal canbe recalculated periodically based on the user's performance over eachprevious period of time. An example process that can be used tocalculate the goal values is described below with respect to FIG. 96.

In some examples, there can be additional goal values stored in thedevice's memory, such as a time-based goal so that the one or moreprocessors can compare the aggregate amounts of the first and secondtype of activities performed by the user to such goal values and cause,on the display, a display of the comparison. For example, interface 1700can further include one or more additional reference indicatorsrepresenting supplemental information relevant to the user's activity.In the illustrated example, the additional reference indicators areshown as carets 1718 and 1728 provided along the rings. Examples ofsupplemental information that can be additionally provided on thedisplay include, non-exclusively, timed-based goals that are adjusted inaccordance with a passage of time (e.g., certain percentage(s) of thegoal to be completed by certain time(s) of a day, such as 10% to becompleted by 10:00 am, 80% to be completed by 9:00 pm, etc. such thatthe indicator would be moving along the ring throughout the day toindicate the changing percentage of the goal to be completed dependingon the time of a day), history of a user's past activity (e.g., activityperformed by a user of the device on a particular day of the week, ahighest/lowest or daily average amount of activity of a certain categoryperformed by the user of the device over a month, a week, two days, lastday, etc.), activity data of other users different from the user of thedevice (e.g., a highest/lowest or daily average amount of activity ofcertain category performed by other users different from the user of thedevice, average amount of activity of a certain category performed byother users at a given time during the day, etc.), or the like.Indicators representing the information about the user's total amount ofall activity are provided on ring 1702, whereas indicators representingthe information about the user's total amount of activity above athreshold intensity are provided on ring 1704.

In some examples, the device can obtain the activity data of other usersfrom an external device that is configured to communicate with aplurality of monitors monitoring activity of the other users. Examplesof information the device can obtain from an external storage deviceinclude, non-exclusively, highest/lowest/average amount of activityperformed by other users over a certain time period, certain percentileamount of activity performed by other users, average progressive measureof amount of activity performed by other users which may be updated astime passes, or the like. In some other examples, device 100 can requestto receive data associated with only a particular group of users havingcommon conditions (e.g., physical conditions) as the user of device 100or other groups known or unknown to the user.

Referring to the example of FIG. 17, carets 1718 provided on outer ring1702 can represent a global average progressive measure of the totalamount of activity performed by a group of users. Since caret 1718 isplaced inside part 1702 a, the user of the device can see that he hasburned more Calories than other users in the group have done on averageby 6:15 p.m. Similarly, caret 1728 may also be provided on inner ring1704, representing a global average progressive measure of the totalamount of high intensity activity performed by a group of users. Sincecaret 1728 is placed outside part 1704 a, the user of the device can seethat other users in the group have spent more than 20 minutes on averageexercising or performing activity above the threshold intensity by 6:15p.m. Providing such information can motivate a user of the device toengage in more activities and exercises. As explained above, the displaycan display either one or both indicators 1718 and 1728.

The device can display some or all of indicators 1702, 1704, 1706, 1708,1712, 1718, and 1728. In some examples, the device can determine whichindicators the display will display based on a signal entered by a userof the device. Upon receiving a first input signal, the display candisplay rings 1702 and 1704. Upon receiving a second input signal, thedisplay can additionally display texts 1706 and 1708. Upon receiving athird input signal, the display can additionally display referenceindicators 1718 and 1728, and so forth. Input signals can be triggeredby a user of the device using various input mechanisms of the device,such as pressing a mechanical button of the device, detecting a movementof a rotatable input mechanism, touching a touch-sensitive display ofthe device, combinations of any of the input mechanisms, or the like. Inother examples, the display can display only indicators relating to oneof the monitored features, e.g., the total amount of all activity, anddisplay indicators 1702, 1706, and 1718. Then, upon receiving a triggersignal from a user of the device, the display can additionally displayindicators relating to the activity above the threshold intensity. Anyother variations in display configuration can be employed withoutdeparting from the core of this disclosure.

In some examples, the device can provide rewards to a user of the devicewhen the user achieves one or more goals. Examples of rewards include,but are not limited to, visual rewards, such as animations, glowing orpulsating graphics, 3D images, lighting effects, badges, or the like;sound rewards, such as alerts, ringtones, music, voice, or the like;vibrations; or any combinations of rewards thereof. The visual rewardscan be displayed over the indicators as complications (e.g., a smallerdisplay within the larger interface) with desired information. As usedherein, consistent with its accepted meaning in art, a complication canrefer to any clock face feature other than those used to indicate thehours and minutes of a time (e.g., clock hands or hour/minuteindications). Complications can provide different types of informationto a user, such as data obtained from an application, and theinformation conveyed to a user by a complication can be customizable.Alternatively, the indicators themselves can be displayed as acomplication overlaid on other visual displays. For example, theindicators can be displayed within a circular icon displayed over aconventional watch display showing a date and time. In the illustratedexample of FIG. 17, rings 1702 and 1704 can start glowing and/orpulsating once completed by the user. The same or different visualeffects can be displayed to the user in response to one of rings 1702and 1704 being completed additional times. For example, a brighter glowor pulsating effect can be displayed to the user for each subsequentcompletion of a ring. Further, in some examples, different types ofrewards can be used for rewarding different levels of achievements. If auser achieves the first goal without achieving the second goal (e.g.,completes ring 1702 without completing ring 1704), the display canprovide a first effect. If a user achieves the second goal withoutachieving the first goal (e.g., completes ring 1704 without completingring 1702), the display can provide a second effect that is the same ordifferent from the first effect. If a user achieves both the first andsecond goals (e.g., completes both rings 1702 and 1704), the display canprovide a third effect which is the same or different from the first andsecond effects. By providing rewards that are exciting give feedback tothe user, a user of the device can be motivated to engage in moreactivities and exercises.

FIG. 18 illustrates another example physical activity tracking interface1800 that can be displayed at block 1502 of process 1500. Interface 1800is similar to interface 1700, except that the same measurement metric isused to measure the first and second types of physical activities. Aswill be apparent to a person of ordinary skill in the art, differentmetrics can be used, such as, non-exclusively, amount of time spent,distance traveled, steps taken, or the like. In the illustrated exampleof FIG. 18, the goal values (e.g., the first and the second goal values)are both represented using the same measurement metric—the amount ofCalories burned, and have the identical numerical value of 1000Calories. However, in other examples, the first and second goal valuescan have different numerical values.

In the illustrated example of FIG. 18, interface 1800 includes a firstindicator representative of the daily total amount of all activity and asecond indicator representative of the daily total amount of activityabove a threshold intensity. The first indicator includes graphicrepresentation 1802 and textual representation 1806, each representingthe daily total amount of activity performed by the user. The secondindicator includes graphic representation 1804 and textualrepresentation 1808, each representing the daily total amount ofactivity above a threshold intensity performed by the same user.Optionally, interface 1800 can further include indicators 1818 and 1828.The configuration, functionalities, and possible variations of interface1800 are similar to those of interface 1700 explained with reference toFIG. 17, and therefore, the overlapping descriptions are omitted herein.

Similar to the example shown in FIG. 17, rings 1802 and 1804 areconfigured to represent respective progressive measures of the totalamount of all activity performed by the user compared to the first goalvalue and the total amount of activity above a threshold intensityperformed by the user compared to the second goal value. Indicators 1802and 1812 show that the user has performed three fourths of the dailygoal amount for all activity (the first goal value) by 6:15 p.m.Indicators 1804 and 1812 show that the user has performed one half ofthe daily goal amount for activity above a threshold intensity (thesecond goal value) by 6:15 p.m. As more activity is detected, part 1802a can be increased in size and part 1802 b can be decreased in size, andas more activity above a threshold intensity is detected, part 1804 acan be increased in size and part 1804 b can be decreased in size. Incertain examples, ring parts 1802 a and 1802 b can be scaled such thatthe ratio of the entire circumference of ring 1802 to filled part 1802 amatches the ratio of the first goal value to the actual amount of allactivity performed by the user. Similarly, ring parts 1804 a and 1804 bcan be scaled such that the ratio of the entire circumference of ring1804 to filled part 1804 a matches the ratio of the second goal value tothe actual amount of activity above a threshold intensity performed bythe user.

If the amount of all activity and the amount of activity above athreshold intensity are measured using the same metric unit (e.g., theunit of Calories burned) as shown in the illustrated example, a user cansee how much each type of activity contributes to another. Referring toFIG. 18, a user can see that out of 750 Calories be has burned in totalby 6:15 p.m., 500 of those were burned from exercising or performingactivity above a threshold intensity. Further, if the first and secondgoal values are the same (e.g., 1000 Calories) as is the case in theexample of FIG. 18, a user can always achieve the first goal (e.g.,completes outer ring 1802) if the user achieves the second goal. If thefirst and second goal values are different, it may not necessarily betrue that the user achieves the first goal automatically if the userachieves the second goal.

In some examples, the amount of one type of activity can be measuredusing more than one measurement metric. For example, the amount ofactivity above a threshold intensity can be measured using a firstmetric and a second metric. In such cases, the display of the device canalternatingly display an indicator representing the amount measured inthe first metric and another indicator representing the amount measuredin the second metric. For example, the display can alternatingly displayindicator 1800 and indicator 1700 if the activity above a thresholdintensity is measured using both the amount of Calories burned andamount of time spent performing the activity.

It is noted that indicators 1700 and 1800 disclosing two concentricrings are provided herein only as examples. As will be apparent to aperson of ordinary skill in the art, numerous other visualrepresentations may be used instead such as, non-exclusively, twoparallel lines, two vertical bars, two line graphs, side by sidecircles, or the like. FIGS. 19-21 illustrate such examples.

FIG. 19 illustrates an example physical activity tracking interface 1900having two parallel lines that can be displayed at block 1502 of process1500. In the illustrated example, line 1902 represents an attribute of afirst type of activity, such as the total amount of all activityperformed by a user of the device, and line 1904 represents an attributeof a second type of activity, such as the total amount of activity abovea threshold intensity performed by the same user. Line 1902 can bescaled such that the entire length represents the goal amount of allactivity (the first goal value), while solid part 1902 a represents theactual amount of activity performed by the user. Empty part 1902 brepresents the amount of activity remaining to be performed by the userto achieve the goal. As more activity is detected, solid part 1902 a canbe increased in size and empty part 1902 b can be decreased in size.Similarly, line 1904 can be scaled such that the entire lengthrepresents the goal amount for activity above a threshold intensity (thesecond goal value), while solid part 1904 a represents the actual amountof activity above a threshold intensity performed by the user. Emptypart 1904 b represents the amount of activity above a thresholdintensity remaining to be performed by the user to achieve the goal. Asmore activity above a threshold intensity is detected, solid part 1904 acan be increased in size and empty part 1904 b can be decreased in size.Thus, lines 1902 and 1904 can represent progressive measures of thetotal amount of all activity and the total amount of activity above athreshold intensity performed by the user. In certain examples, lines1902 and 1904 can be scaled such that the ratio of the entire length ofthe line to the solid part matches the ratio of the goal value to theactual amount performed by the user. Optionally, texts 1906 and 1908and/or carets 1918 and 1928, which have similar configuration,functionalities, and possible variations as texts 1706 and 1708 and/orcarets 1718 and 1728, explained above in reference to the example ofFIG. 17, can be provided.

FIG. 20 illustrates another example physical activity tracking interface2000 having two vertical bars that can be displayed at block 1502 ofprocess 1500. Bar 2002 having parts 2002 a and 2002 b and bar 2004having parts 2004 a and 2004 b can be configured and displayed in amanner similar to line 1902 having parts 1902 a and 1902 b and line 1904having parts 1904 a and 1904 b in FIG. 19, respectively. Similar to FIG.19, texts 2006 and 2008 and/or carets 2018 and 2028 can optionally beprovided.

FIG. 21 illustrates another example physical activity tracking interface2100 having two non-concentric rings that can be displayed at block 1502of process 1500. In the illustrated example, two side-by-side rings 2102and 2104 are provided. Left ring 2102 having parts 2102 a and 2102 b andright ring 2104 having parts 2104 a and 2104 b can be configured anddisplayed in a manner similar to ring 1702 having parts 1702 a and 1702b and ring 1704 having parts 1704 a and 1704 b in FIG. 17, respectively.Texts 2106 and 2108 and/or carets 2118 and 2128, which can have similarconfigurations, functionalities, and possible variations as texts 1706and 1708 and/or carets 1718 and 1728 explained above in reference to theexample of FIG. 17, can be provided. As will be apparent to a person ofordinary skill in the art, the examples shown in FIGS. 19-21 are notexhaustive, and various modifications can be made with respect to, forexample, shapes, visual effects, fonts, sizes, locations of each elementon the display, graph dimensions, color effects, intensity, brightness,or the like.

In some examples, after displaying some or all of the interfaces shownin FIGS. 9-13 (or directly after displaying interface 800 if theinterfaces shown in FIGS. 9-13 are not to be displayed), the electronicdevice can perform process 2200 and/or process 2400, shown in FIGS. 22and 24 for generating and updating an inactivity tracking interface.Processes 2200 and 2400 can be performed using a device similar oridentical to device 100, 300, 500, or 610, and can be performed at thesame or a different time than process 1500. Some operations in process2200 and/or 2400 may be combined, the order of some operations may bechanged, and some operations may be omitted.

As described below, process 2200 and/or 2400 provide intuitive ways tomonitor attributes of a user's physical activity or inactivity andgenerate user interfaces for displaying the same. The process reducesthe cognitive burden on a user when monitoring attributes of the user'sphysical activity or inactivity, thereby creating a more efficienthuman-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices,enabling a user to monitor attributes of the user's physical activity orinactivity and generate user interfaces for displaying the same morequickly and more efficiently conserves power and increases the timebetween battery charges.

At block 2202, a display of an inactivity tracking interface can bedisplayed. As mentioned above, recent studies have found that extendedperiods of inactivity (e.g., sitting at a desk) can lead to serioushealth risks, such as an increased risk of heart attack. Some healthcareproviders recommend that individuals move at least once every hour(e.g., by getting up out of their chair to walk or to stand). Theinactivity tracking interface can be used to track the number ofhour-long segments (or segments of other lengths) that a user isinactive and prompt users to be active before the hour (or other lengthof time) elapses. To do so, the inactivity tracking interface caninclude a visual representation of an amount of a user's inactivity(e.g., a length of time the user is inactive as measured by aninactivity timer), an amount of detected user activity (e.g., a lengthof time the user is active, a number of steps taken by the user, anumber of Calories expended, or the like), or a combination thereof. Theuser can be categorized as being inactive when the device detects thatthe user is not engaged in a physical activity that meets apredetermined criteria. For example, inactivity can be characterized bythe absence of the user engaging in a physical activity that meets athreshold intensity (e.g., movement that expends a threshold number ofCalories per unit time, movement that exceeds a distance per unit timethreshold, or the like), the absence of the user engaging in specifiedtype of activity (e.g., standing, walking, running, swimming, climbingstairs, or the like), or a combination thereof.

FIG. 23 illustrates an exemplary inactivity tracking interface 2300 thatcan be displayed at block 2202 of process 2200. Interface 2300 caninclude a first visual representation of an amount of a user'sinactivity in the form of first inactivity indicator 2302, a secondvisual representation of the user's inactivity in the form of secondinactivity indicator 2306, and a third visual representation of theuser's inactivity in the form of inactivity counter 2308.

First inactivity indicator 2302 can include a numerical representationof a length of time that the user has been inactive (e.g., as indicatedby a timer of the device). For instance, in the illustrated example,first inactivity indicator 2302 indicates that the user has beeninactive for 52 minutes and 34 seconds. Second inactivity indicator 2306can include a graphical representation of the length of time that theuser has been inactive (e.g., a graphical representation of thenumerical value of first inactivity indicator 2302).

In some examples, first inactivity indicator 2302 and second inactivityindicator 2306 can represent a length of time that a user has beeninactive, up to an inactivity threshold duration. Upon reaching theinactivity threshold duration, the value represented by first inactivityindicator 2302 and second inactivity indicator 2306 can be reset (e.g.,to zero), and the value represented by inactivity counter 2308 (whichcan include a numerical value representing the number of times cycles auser has been inactive for the inactivity threshold duration) can beincremented. The inactivity threshold duration can have anypredetermined or user-selectable value, such as 10 minutes, 20 minutes,30 minutes, 1 hour, or the like. In this way, first inactivity indicator2302 and second inactivity indicator 2306 can display a length of timethat the user has been inactive, and inactivity counter 2308 canindicate the number of times that the user was inactive for a length oftime equal to the inactivity threshold duration.

In some examples, as shown in FIG. 23, second inactivity indicator 2306can include a ring that can include a completed first portion 2306 arepresentative of the length of time the user has been inactive and anuncompleted second portion 2306 b representative of a difference betweenthe inactivity threshold duration and the length of the time the userhas been inactive. For example, when the user has not been inactive(e.g., inactive for a length of time equal to zero), the ring may beentirely incomplete and absent from the display. As the length ofinactivity increases, the outline of the ring can be darkened, startingat one point along the ring (e.g., the top of the ring) and progressingin a clockwise direction around the ring to give the appearance that thering is being drawn on the display. The percentage of the ring that iscompleted can be equal to the length of time the user has been inactivedivided by the inactivity threshold duration. For example, if the userhas been inactive for 30 minutes and the inactivity threshold durationis one hour, then half of the ring can be completed. In other examples,second inactivity indicator 2306 can include other visualrepresentations, such as a line, bar, rectangle, or the like, where theportion of the visual representation that is displayed can berepresentative of the length of time the user has been inactive. In yetother examples, second portion 2306 b can instead be representative ofthe number of times that the user remained inactive for a continuoussegment of time equal to the inactivity threshold duration and firstportion 2306 a can instead be representative of a difference between thenumber of times that the user remained inactive for a continuous segmentof time equal to the inactivity threshold and the length of time overwhich the inactivity is being monitored (e.g., elapsed time in the dayor other period of time).

Interface 2300 can further include activity indicator 2310, which caninclude a numerical representation of an amount of consecutive activity(e.g., activity performed without stopping for more than a thresholdlength of time) that has been performed, up to an activity threshold.Upon reaching the activity threshold, the value represented by activityindicator 2310 can be reset (e.g., to zero), and the values representedby first inactivity indicator 2302 and second inactivity indicator 2306can also be reset (e.g., to zero). The threshold activity threshold canhave any predetermined or user-selectable value represented in anydesired unit of measurement, such as 50 steps, 75 steps, 100 steps, 1Calorie, 5 Calories, 30 seconds, 60 seconds, or the like. In someexamples, as shown in FIG. 23, activity indicator 2310 can include anumerical value of the amount of activity performed by the user (e.g.,duration standing, steps taken, length of time active, or the like). Inother examples, activity indicator 2310 can include a graphicalrepresentation of the amount of detected activity relative to theactivity threshold. The graphical representation can include a ringsimilar to that used for second inactivity indicator 2306 that isconcentric to the ring of second inactivity indicator 2306, or any othergraphical representation, such as a line, a bar, a rectangle, or thelike. In this way, activity indicator 2310 can display an amount ofdetected activity performed by the user and can show the user's progresstoward reaching the activity threshold required to reset firstinactivity indicator 2302 and second inactivity indicator 2306. Inparticular, the completed portion of the ring can be representative ofthe amount of detected activity and the missing portion of the ring canbe representative of the difference between the activity threshold andthe amount of detected activity. In other examples, such as when theactivity threshold is relatively small (e.g., 25 steps, 60 seconds,etc.), activity counter 2310 may not be included within the inactivitytracking interface.

Interface 2300 can further include time 2304 containing a numerical orgraphical representation of the time of day. For example, time 2304 ininterface 2300 indicates that the time is 1:27 am. In other examples,time 2304 may be excluded from interface 2300 and can be displayed inanother interface.

While interface 2300 is shown as occupying a majority of the display,interface 2300 can similarly be displayed as a complication on anotherinterface display with varying levels of information. As mentionedabove, consistent with its accepted meaning in art, a complication canrefer to any clock face feature other than those used to indicate thehours and minutes of a time (e.g., clock hands or hour/minuteindications). Complications can provide different types of informationto a user, such as data obtained from an application, and theinformation conveyed to a user by a complication can be customizable.For example, a user may select an option to cause interface 2300 to bedisplayed as a complication to cause a smaller version of interface 2300to be displayed overlaid on a display of a conventional watch faceshowing a date and time. As a result of occupying a smaller portion ofthe display, some of the elements of interface 2300, such as time 2304or activity indicator 2310, can be removed from the interface to allowthe other elements to be displayed in a size sufficient to be viewed bythe user.

Referring back to FIG. 22, at block 2204, activity data that isrepresentative of sensed physical activity of a user may be receivedfrom an activity sensor (e.g., sensors 168, 359, and 520). For example,processor(s) of the device can receive activity data from the activitysensors and can process the data to determine whether the user is active(e.g., performing a physical activity, such as standing, bicycling,jogging, walking, running, stepping side to side, swimming, jumping,going up stairs, intense bodily movements, such as wrestling, or thelike), whether the user is inactive, or whether the user is performing agesture (e.g., waving hands, moving fingers, such as typing, or thelike). The processor(s) can additionally or alternatively determineattributes of a detected physical activity, such as a duration of thedetected activity, times) of a day when the user performs the detectedactivity, amount of Calories burned by a user of the device whileperforming the detected activity, distance travelled by a user of thedevice while performing the detected activity, steps taken by a user ofthe device while performing the detected activity, elevation climbed bya user of the device while performing the detected activity,highest/lowest/average velocity of a user of the device while performingthe detected activity, highest/lowest/average heart rate of a user ofthe device while performing the detected activity,highest/lowest/average body temperature of a user of the device whileperforming the detected activity, other contextual information (toquantify if it is activity data or not), or the like.

At block 2206, an activity timer that measures a length of time that theuser is inactive can be controlled based on the activity data receivedat block 2204. For example, processor(s) of the device can be configuredto a control timer such that the timer starts in response to thereceived activity data indicating that the user is inactive, pauses inresponse to the received activity data indicating that the user isactive, and is reset in response to either the value of the inactivitytimer reaching the inactivity threshold or the activity data indicatingthat the user has performed an activity threshold amount of activity.The value of the inactivity timer can be the length of time that theuser is inactive that is represented by first and second inactivityindicators 2302 and 2306 of inactivity tracking interface 2300.

Blocks 2202, 2204, and 2206 can be repeated any number of times at andat any desired interval of time to detect a user's activity/inactivityand to update the display of the inactivity tracking interfaceaccordingly. Additionally, it should be appreciated that while blocks2202, 2204, and 2206 are shown in a particular order, blocks 2202, 2204,and 2206 can be performed in any order or at the same time. For example,the inactivity tracking interface can be repeatedly updated at block2202 while activity data is being received at block 2204 and processedto control the inactivity timer at block 1006 to provide the user withcurrent or real-time inactivity information. In some examples where thephysical activity application is running in the background of the deviceor while the display of the device is deactivated, block 2202 can beomitted and blocks 2204 and 2206 can repeatedly be performed to monitorthe user's activity and control the activity timer such that an accuratedisplay of the attributes can later be provided to the user when thephysical activity application is reopened or the display of the deviceis activated.

FIG. 24 illustrates an exemplary process 2400 that can be used toperform block 2206 of process 2200. The operations of the blocks ofprocesses 2200 and 2400 will be described below with reference to theexample inactivity tracking interfaces shown in FIGS. 25-39.

At block 2202 of process 2200, a device similar or identical to device100, 300, 500, or 610 can cause a display of an inactivity trackinginterface similar or identical to interface 2300 shown in FIG. 25. Asillustrated, interface 2300 includes a first inactivity indicator 2302that indicates that the user has been inactive for a length of timeequal to zero and a time indicator 2304 that indicates that the currenttime is 12:00 p.m. Additionally, inactivity indicator 2306 can includeonly second portion 2306 b, indicating that the user has been inactivefor a length of time equal to zero. At block 2204 of process 2200,activity data that is representative of sensed physical activity of auser of the device can be received as well as other data.

Proceeding to block 2402 of process 2400, it can be determined whetherthe activity data received at block 2204 indicates that the user isactive (e.g., performing an activity). In some examples, thedetermination made at block 2402 can include determining whether theuser is performing a predefined type of activity (e.g., standing,walking, running, swimming, or the like) or is performing any type ofactivity with an intensity greater than a threshold amount (e.g.,performing an activity that expends more than a threshold number ofCalories per minute, traveling at a speed greater than a thresholdamount, or the like). For purposes of explanation, the determinationmade at block 2402 will be described herein as determining whether theuser is walking. However, it should be appreciated that any othercriteria, such as whether the user is standing, jumping, climbing,performing a physical activity meeting a threshold intensity, or thelike, can similarly be used. If it is determined from the activity datafrom an activity sensor, such as an accelerometer, that the user iswalking, or has taken a step within a threshold length of time (e.g.,5-10 seconds), the process can return to block 2402 where the activitydata can continue to be monitored to detect when the user becomesinactive. Alternatively, if it is determined that the user is notwalking, or has not taken a step within the threshold length of time,the process can proceed to block 2404. In some examples, the absence ofdata from the activity sensors can cause a negative determination to bemade at block 2402 and the process to proceed to block 2404.

At block 2404, an inactivity timer that measures a length of time thatthe user is inactive can be started. For example, processor(s) of thedevice can start a timer to begin recording the length of time that theuser is inactive. The value of the inactivity timer can represent thelength of time that the user is inactive and can be visually representedby the first and second inactivity indicators 2302 and 2306 in theinactivity tracking interface 2300.

At block 2406, it can be determined whether or not updated activity datahas been received at block 2204 and if that activity data indicates thatthe user is performing an activity. This determination can be similar oridentical to the determination made at block 2402. If it is determinedthat the user is not performing an activity (or is not performing thepredefined type of activity), or has not performed an activity withinthe threshold length of time, the process can proceed to block 2408. Insome examples, the absence of data from the activity sensors can cause anegative determination to be made at block 2406 and the process toproceed to block 2408.

At block 2408, it can be determined whether the value of the inactivitytimer has reached an inactivity threshold. As mentioned above, theinactivity threshold can have any predetermined or user-selectablevalue, such as 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or the like.If it is determined that the value of the inactivity timer has notreached the inactivity threshold, the process can return to block 2406.While the user remains inactive, blocks 2406 and 2408 can be repeated,causing the inactivity timer to continue counting. For example, FIG. 26shows an example view of interface 2300 after the user has remainedinactive for 15 minutes after interface 2300 in FIG. 25 was displayed.As shown, first inactivity indicator 2302 indicates that the length oftime the user has been inactive (e.g., as determined by the inactivitytimer) is 15 minutes. Similarly, a quarter of the ring (e.g., one-fourthof indicator 2306 is first portion 2306 a and three-fourths of indicator2306 is second portion 2306 b) of second inactivity indicator 2306 hasbeen completed to indicate that the user has been inactive forone-fourth of the 60 minute inactivity threshold. FIG. 27 showsinterface 2300 after the user has remained inactive for 20 minutes and13 seconds. As shown, first inactive indicator 2302 has been updatedwith the length of inactivity (e.g., as determined by the inactivitytimer) and second inactivity indicator 2306 has been animated to includea larger portion of a ring (e.g., approximately one-third of indicator2306 is first portion 2306 a and two-thirds of indicator 2306 is secondportion 2306 b), with the portion of the completed ring beingrepresentative of the length of inactivity relative to the inactivitythreshold. FIG. 28 shows interface 2300 after the user has remainedinactive for 45 minutes. As shown, first inactive indicator 2302 hasbeen updated with the length of inactivity (e.g., as determined by theinactivity timer) and second inactivity indicator 2306 has been animatedto have first portion 2306 a occupy a larger portion of the ring and tohave second portion 2306 b occupy a smaller portion of the ring, withthe portion of the completed ring (e.g., first portion 2306 a) beingrepresentative of the length of inactivity relative to the inactivitythreshold. FIG. 29 shows interface 2300 after the user has remainedinactive for 52 minutes and 34 seconds. As shown, first inactiveindicator 2302 has been updated with the length of inactivity (e.g., asdetermined by the inactivity timer) and second inactivity indicator 2306has been animated to have first portion 2306 a occupy a larger portionof the ring and to have second portion 2306 b occupy a smaller portionof the ring, with the portion of the completed ring (e.g., first portion2306 a) being representative of the length of inactivity relative to theinactivity threshold.

Referring back to FIG. 24, once the inactivity timer reaches theinactivity threshold, a positive determination can be made at block 2408and the process can proceed to block 2410. At block 2410, the value ofan inactivity counter can be incremented. The inactivity counter can beused to track the number of times that the user remained inactive for acontinuous segment of time equal to the inactivity threshold. The valueof the inactivity counter can be visually represented in the inactivitytracking interface by inactivity counter 2308. Process 2400 can thenproceed to block 2412 where the inactivity timer can be reset to a valueof zero. To illustrate, FIG. 30 shows an example view of interface 2300after the user has remained inactive for 60 minutes after interface 2300in FIG. 25 was displayed. As shown, inactivity counter 2308 indicatesthat the user has missed one segment of time as a result of block 2410being performed in response to the user continuously remaining inactivefor 60 minutes. Additionally, first inactivity indicator 2302 indicatesthat the length of time the user has been inactive (e.g., as determinedby the inactivity timer) is zero minutes as a result of the inactivitytimer being reset at block 2412. Similarly, indicator 2306 has beenmodified to include only second portion 1106 b to indicate that the userhas been inactive for zero minutes of the 60 minute inactivitythreshold.

After resetting the inactivity timer at block 2412, process 2400 canreturn to block 2402 where it can be determined whether or not updatedactivity data has been received at block 2204 and if that activity dataindicates that the user is active (e.g., by performing an activity). Ifit is determined that the user is performing an activity, or hasperformed an activity within a threshold length of time (e.g., 5-10seconds), the process can return to block 2402 where the activity datacan continue to be monitored to detect when the user becomes inactive.Alternatively, if it is determined that the user is not performing anactivity (or is not performing the predefined type of activity), or hasnot performed an activity within the threshold length of time, theprocess can proceed to block 2404. By resetting the inactivity timer atblock 2412 and starting the inactivity timer at block 2404 once it isdetermined that the user is again inactive, process 2400 can be used toidentify hour-long (or any other desired duration) segments of timeduring which the user is inactive (e.g., segments that can start at anytime), rather than identify predefined hour-long segments (e.g.,segments from 1 pm to 2 pm, 2 pm to 3 pm, etc.) during which the user isinactive.

At block 2404, the inactivity timer can again be started. While the userremains inactive, process 2400 can proceed to repeatedly perform blocks2406 and 2408, as discussed above. To illustrate, FIG. 31 shows anexample view of interface 2300 after the user has remained inactive for12 minutes and 25 seconds after interface 2300 in FIG. 30 was displayed(and 72 minutes and 25 seconds after interface 2300 in FIG. 25 wasdisplayed). As shown, inactivity counter 2308 indicates that the userhas missed one segment of time by continuously remaining inactive for 60minutes. Additionally, first inactivity indicator 2302 indicates thatthe length of time the user has been inactive during the current segmentof time (e.g., as determined by the inactivity timer) is 12 minutes and25 seconds. Similarly, the ring of second inactivity indicator 2306 hasbeen animated to have first portion 2306 a occupy a larger portion ofthe ring and to have second portion 2306 b occupy a smaller portion ofthe ring, with the portion of the completed ring (e.g., first portion2306 a) being representative of the 12 minutes and 25 seconds that theuser has been inactive.

If, at block 2406, it is instead determined that the user is performingan activity, or has performed an activity within a threshold length oftime (e.g., 5-10 seconds), the process can proceed to block 2414. Forexample, in response to the user taking a step as determined by theactivity sensor, it can be determined at block 2406 that the user isperforming an activity and is active. At block 2414, the inactivitytimer can be paused. For example, the processor(s) of the device canpause the timer to cause the value of the timer to remain constant.Process 2400 can then proceed to block 2416 where the activity detectedat block 2406 can be used to update an amount of detected activity. Theamount of detected activity can represent the physical activityperformed by the user using any desired metric, such as Caloriesexpended, steps taken, distance traveled, or the like, and can bevisually represented by activity indicator 2310 in the inactivitytracking interface. Continuing with the examples above that use walkingas the activity being detected at blocks 2402 and 2406, the amount ofdetected activity can be measured using steps taken. Thus, the amount ofdetected activity can be updated to include the number of steps taken bythe user as indicated by the activity data received from the activitysensors. To illustrate, FIG. 32 shows an example view of interface 2300after the user has taken one step after interface 2300 in FIG. 31 wasdisplayed. As shown, the values of inactivity counter 2308, firstinactivity indicator 2302, and second inactivity indicator 2306 have notchanged from that shown in FIG. 31 as a result of the inactivity timerbeing paused at block 2414. However, activity indicator 2310 has beendisplayed within interface 2300 and indicates that the user has takenone step (e.g., based on the value of the amount of detected activitythat was updated at block 2416).

At block 2418, it can be determined whether the amount of detectedactivity updated at block 2416 has reached an activity threshold. Asdiscussed above, the activity threshold can have any predetermined oruser-selectable value represented in any desired unit of measurement,such as Calories expended, steps taken, distance traveled, or the like.For example, the activity threshold can have a value of 100 steps. Sincethe user has only taken one step, it can be determined at block 2418that the amount of detected activity has not reached the activitythreshold. As a result, the process can proceed to block 2420.

At block 2420, it can be determined whether or not updated activity datahas been received at block 2204 and if that activity data indicates thatthe user is performing an activity. This determination can be similar oridentical to the determination made at blocks 2402 and 2406. If it isdetermined that the user is performing an activity (or is performing thepredefined type of activity), or has performed an activity within thethreshold length of time, the process can return to block 2416. Whilethe user continues to perform a physical activity (e.g., walking), orcontinues to perform the physical activity without stopping for morethan a threshold length of time (e.g., 5-10 seconds), and while theamount of physical activity remains less than the activity threshold,blocks 2416, 2418, and 2420 can be repeated to detect and record thephysical activity using the amount of detected activity value. Toillustrate, FIG. 33 shows an example view of interface 2300 after theuser has taken two steps after interface 2300 in FIG. 31 was displayed.As shown, the values of inactivity counter 2308, first inactivityindicator 2302, and second inactivity indicator 2306 have not changedfrom that shown in FIGS. 31 and 32 as a result of the inactivity timerbeing paused at block 2414. However, activity indicator 2310 has beenupdated to indicate that the user has taken two steps (e.g., based onthe value of the amount of detected activity that was updated at block2416). FIG. 34 shows an example view of interface 2300 after the userhas taken 99 steps after interface 2300 in FIG. 31 was displayed. Asshown, the values of inactivity counter 2308, first inactivity indicator2302, and second inactivity indicator 2306 have not changed from thatshown in FIGS. 31, 32, and 33 as a result of the inactivity timer beingpaused at block 2414. However, activity indicator 2310 has been updatedto indicate that the user has taken 99 steps (e.g., based on the valueof the amount of detected activity that was updated at block 2416).

If, at block 2418, it is instead determined that the amount of detectedactivity has reached the activity threshold, the process can proceed toblock 2422. At block 2422, the amount of detected activity can be resetto zero and the process can proceed to block 2412 where the inactivitytimer can also be reset to zero. For example, the processor(s) of thedevice can reset the value of the amount of detected activity and canreset the timer to a value of zero. To illustrate, FIG. 35 shows anexample view of interface 2300 after the user has taken 100 steps afterinterface 2300 in FIG. 31 was displayed. As a result of performing anamount of activity equal to or greater than the activity threshold, theinactivity timer has been reset at block 2412, causing first inactivityindicator 2302 to indicate that the length of time the user has beeninactive (e.g., as determined by the inactivity timer) is zero minutes.Similarly, the ring of second inactivity indicator 2306 has beenanimated to include only second portion 2306 b to indicate that the userhas been inactive for zero minutes of the 60 minute inactivitythreshold. Additionally, activity indicator 2310 has been removed fromthe display in response to the amount of detected activity being resetat block 2422.

After resetting the inactivity timer at block 2412, process 2400 canreturn to block 2402 where it can be determined whether or not updatedactivity data has been received at block 2204 and if that activity dataindicates that the user is performing an activity. If it is determinedthat the user is performing an activity, or has performed an activitywithin a threshold length of time (e.g., 5-10 seconds), the process canreturn to block 2402 where the activity data can continue to bemonitored to detect when the user becomes inactive. Alternatively, if itis determined that the user is not performing an activity (or is notperforming the predefined type of activity), or has not performed anactivity within the threshold length of time, the process can proceed toblock 2404. At block 2404, the inactivity timer can again be started.While the user remains inactive, process 2400 can proceed to repeatedlyperform blocks 2406 and 2408, as discussed above. To illustrate, FIG. 36shows an example view of interface 2300 after the user has remainedinactive for 12 minutes after interface 2300 in FIG. 35 was displayed.As shown, inactivity counter 2308 indicates that the user has missed onesegment of time by continuously remaining inactive for 60 minutes.Additionally, first inactivity indicator 2302 indicates that the lengthof time the user has been inactive during the current segment of time(e.g., as determined by the inactivity timer) is 12 minutes. Similarly,the ring of second inactivity indicator 2306 has been animated to havefirst portion 2306 a occupy a larger portion of the ring and to havesecond portion 2306 b occupy a smaller portion of the ring, with theportion of the completed ring (e.g., first portion 2306 a) beingrepresentative of the 12 minutes that the user has been inactive.

As discussed above, if the user begins to perform an activity, such aswalking five steps, a positive determination can be made at block 2406and the process can proceed to block 2414. At block 2414, the activitytimer can be paused, and at block 2416 the amount of detected activitycan be updated to include the five steps taken by the user. Toillustrate, FIG. 37 shows an example view of interface 2300 after theuser has taken five steps after interface 2300 in FIG. 36 was displayed.As shown, the values of inactivity counter 2308, first inactivityindicator 2302, and second inactivity indicator 2306 have not changedfrom that shown in FIG. 36 as a result of the inactivity timer beingpaused at block 2414. However, activity indicator 2310 has beendisplayed within interface 2300 and indicates that the user has takenfive steps (e.g., based on the value of the amount of detected activitythat was updated at block 2416).

Since the five steps taken by the user is less than the 100 stepactivity threshold, a negative determination can be made at block 2418and the process can proceed to block 2420. If, at block 2420, the userstops performing a physical activity, or stops performing the physicalactivity for more than a threshold length of time (e.g., 5-10 seconds),a negative determination can be made at block 2420 and the process canproceed to block 2424. In some examples, the absence of data from theactivity sensors can cause a negative determination to be made at block2420 and the process to proceed to block 2424. At block 2424 the amountof detected activity can be reset in a manner similar or identical toblock 2422 without resetting the inactivity timer. To illustrate, FIG.38 shows an example view of interface 2300 after the user has stoppedwalking, or has stopped walking for more than a threshold length oftime, after interface 2300 in FIG. 37 was displayed. As a result ofstopping the physical activity, the amount of detected activity has beenreset at block 2 c 124 and activity indicator 2310 has been removed fromthe display. Additionally, since the activity timer was not reset, thevalues of first inactivity indicator 2302 and second inactivityindicator 2306 have not changed from those shown in FIG. 37.

If the user remains inactive, blocks 2402, 2404, 2406, and 2408 can beperformed to continue to record the amount of time that the user isinactive using the inactivity timer. To illustrate, FIG. 39 shows anexample view of interface 2300 one minute after interface 2300 in FIG.38 was displayed. As shown, first inactivity indicator 2302 and secondinactivity indicator 2306 have been updated to reflect the 13 minutevalue of the inactivity timer caused by the activity timer being startedat block 2404.

In some examples, process 2400 can further include resetting the valuesof the inactivity counter periodically or at predetermined times (e.g.,once each day, week, month, or the like). In these examples, the valueof the inactivity counter can be stored prior to being reset to trackthe number of times the user continuously remains inactive for a lengthof time equal to the inactivity threshold over time. For example, thevalue of the inactivity counter can be stored and then reset at the endof each day (e.g., at midnight). The recorded values of the inactivitycounter can allow the user to view the number of times that the userremained continuously inactive for 60 minutes from day to day.

In some examples, process 2200 or 2400 can further include generating anotification in response to the inactivity timer reaching a value thatis a threshold length of time less than the inactivity threshold. Thenotification can include any desired visual, audio, haptic, or othernotification to the user to indicate that the inactivity threshold isnearly expired. For example, a text notification can be displayed on thedisplay of the device when the inactivity timer reaches a value of 50minutes (10 minutes before the 60 minute inactivity threshold). Thisadvantageously gives the user the ability to preemptively get up beforethe inactivity threshold duration has passed.

In some examples, process 2200 or 2400 can further include generatingimages (e.g., badges) on the display of the device that representachievements attained by the user, such as reducing the number of timesthe user is continuously inactive for a length of time equal to theinactivity threshold (e.g., the recorded value of the inactivitycounter) by a threshold amount, reducing the number of times the user iscontinuously inactive for a length of time equal to the inactivitythreshold (e.g., the recorded value of the inactivity counter) to lessthan a predefined number, or the like. Other rewards, including visualrewards, such as animations, glowing or pulsating graphics, 3D images,lighting effects, badges, or the like; sound rewards, such as alerts,ringtones, music, voice, or the like; vibrations; or any combinations ofrewards thereof can be provided to the user for other tasks completed bythe user. For example, rewards can be given in response to theinactivity timer being reset, a time period ending and the user havingan inactivity counter value below a threshold amount, or the like.

In some examples, prior to resetting the inactivity timer at block 2412,the value of the inactivity timer can be added to a total length ofinactivity value that represents the total amount of time that the useris inactive. The total length of inactivity can be stored and reset atpredetermined times (e.g., once each day, week, month, or the like). Forexample, the total length of inactivity can be stored and then reset atthe end of each day (e.g., at midnight). The recorded values of thetotal length of inactivity can allow the user to view length of timethat the user is inactive (rather than or in addition to the number oftimes that the user remained continuously inactive for 60 minutes) fromday to day.

While the blocks of processes 2200 and 2400 are shown and described in aparticular order, it should be appreciated that the blocks of theseprocesses can be performed in different orders or at the same time. Forexample, while controlling the inactivity timer using process 2400,additional activity data can be received at block 2204 of process 2200and the inactivity tracking interface can be repeatedly updated at block2202.

Note that details of the processes described above with respect toprocesses 2200 and 2400 (e.g., FIGS. 22 and 24) are also applicable inan analogous manner to the other processes described herein. Forexample, processes 1500, 1600, 4000, 4800, 7900, 8600, and 9200 mayinclude one or more of the characteristics of the various methodsdescribed above with reference to processes 2200 and 2400. For example,the activity data, activity types, displayed values and other elementsdescribed above with reference to processes 2200 and 2400 optionallyhave one or more of the characteristics of the activity data, activitytypes, displayed values and other elements described herein (e.g.,processes 1500, 1600, 4000, 4800, 7900, 8600, and 9200). For brevity,these details are not repeated.

FIG. 40 illustrates an exemplary process 4000 for generating andupdating a combined physical activity/inactivity tracking interface thatcan be used to monitor attributes of a user's physical activity andinactivity. In some examples, process 4000 can be performed using adevice similar or identical to device 100, 300, 500, or 610. At block4002, a display of a combined physical activity/inactivity trackinginterface can be displayed. The combined physical activity/inactivitytracking interface can include visual representations of attributes ofany number of physical activity types similar to the indicators ofinterface 1700, shown in FIG. 17, as well as visual representations ofattributes of a user's inactivity similar to the indicators of interface2300, shown in FIG. 23. Some operations in process 4000 may be combined,the order of some operations may be changed, and some operations may beomitted.

As described below, process 4000 provides intuitive ways to monitorattributes of a user's physical activity or inactivity and generate userinterfaces for displaying the same. The process reduces the cognitiveburden on a user when monitoring attributes of the user's physicalactivity or inactivity, thereby creating a more efficient human-machineinterface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user tomonitor attributes of the user's physical activity or inactivity andgenerate user interfaces for displaying the same more quickly and moreefficiently conserves power and increases the time between batterycharges.

For example, FIG. 41 illustrates an exemplary activity/inactivitytracking interface 4100 that can be displayed at block 4002 of process4000. Interface 4100 can include a combined activity indicator 4101having a first visual representation of an attribute of a first type ofuser activity in the form of first indicator 4102. In some examples,first indicator 4102 can be controlled and displayed in a manner similaror identical to that of indicator 1702 of interface 1700 to represent anattribute of the first type of activity. For example, as discussed abovewith respect to FIGS. 15-21, a physical activity can be categorized intoany number of types based on a predetermined set of criteria for eachtype. The criteria can include any attribute of the physical activity orinformation detectable by the activity sensors, such as a speed greaterthan or equal to a threshold, a minimum number of steps taken per unittime, a minimum amount of Calories burned per unit time, etc. Forexample, the first set of criteria for the first type of physicalactivity can simply require that the activity be a physical activity(rather than a gesture). Additionally, similar to indicators 1702 and1704 of interface 1700, first indicator 4102 can represent a first valueof any attribute of the physical activity, such as an amount, anintensity level, a duration, a progress relative to a set value, a trendover a time period, or the like, of the activity. For example, the firstvalue can represent an aggregate amount of active and/or restingCalories expended by the user in performing the first type of activityover a predetermined period of time (e.g., a day).

In some examples, first indicator 4102 can further represent a firstgoal value for the represented attribute of the first type of physicalactivity. In these examples, the size of first indicator 4102 can bescaled such that its size represents the first goal amount, and aportion of first indicator 4102 can be marked such that the markedportion represents the actual value of the represented attribute of thefirst type of activity performed by the user. Alternatively oradditionally, first indicator 4102 can include a first portion (e.g.,portion 4102 a) that is representative of the value of the representedattribute of the first type of activity performed by the user and asecond portion (e.g., portion 4102 b) that is representative of adifference between the value of the represented attribute of the firsttype of activity and the first goal value. As shown, the first portion4102 a can be given a color or shading that differs from that of thesecond portion 4102 b. Further, a ratio between a size of the firstportion 4102 a and a size of the second portion 4102 b can be equal to aratio between the total amount of the first type of activity performedby the user and the difference between the total amount of the firsttype of activity performed by the user and the first goal value.

In some examples, first indicator 4102 can include a visual indicatorrepresentative of the type of activity that it represents (e.g., theright-facing arrow at the top of the ring). Additionally, in someexamples, the leading edge of the completed portion 4102 a of the ringcan be displayed having a different appearance or texture than thetrailing parts of the completed portion 4102 a of the ring. For example,the leading edge of the completed portion 4102 a of the ring (e.g., theleading edge as the completed portion traverses the ring in theclockwise direction) can be displayed in a brighter shade of a color,while the trailing parts of the completed portion of the ring can bedisplayed in a darker shade of the same color. This allows a user toeasily view their progress towards the goal. Additionally, in someexamples, if the current value of the value represented by firstindicator 4102 exceeds the goal value, the leading edge of the completedportion 4102 a of the ring can continue to traverse the ring and overlapa previously completed portion of the ring. By displaying the leadingedge using a different shade or texture, the user can distinguish theleading edge from a previously completed portion of the ring.

Activity indicator 4101 can further include a second visualrepresentation of an attribute of a second type of user activity in theform of second indicator 4104. In some examples, second indicator 4104can be controlled and displayed in a manner similar or identical to thatof indicator 1704 of interface 1700 to represent an attribute of thesecond type of activity. For example, as discussed above with respect toFIGS. 15-21, a physical activity can be categorized into any number oftypes based on a predetermined set of criteria for each type. Thecriteria can include any attribute of the physical activity orinformation detectable by the activity sensors, such as a speed greaterthan or equal to a threshold, a minimum number of steps taken per unittime, a minimum amount of Calories burned per unit time, etc. Forexample, the second set of criteria for the second type of physicalactivity can require that the physical activity have an intensitygreater than or equal to (or, alternatively, less than) a thresholdintensity, such as an intensity corresponding to a brisk walk or movingat a speed equal to or greater than 3 miles per hour. Additionally,similar to indicators 1702 and 1704 of interface 1700, second indicator4104 can represent a second value of any attribute of the physicalactivity, such as an amount, an intensity level, a duration, a progressrelative to a set value, a trend over a time period, or the like, of theactivity. For example, the second value can represent an aggregateduration of time that the user performed the second type of activityover a predetermined period of time (e.g., a day).

In some examples, second indicator 4104 can further represent a secondgoal value for the represented attribute of the second type of physicalactivity, in these examples, the size of second indicator 4104 can bescaled such that its size represents the second goal amount, and aportion of second indicator 4104 can be marked such that the markedportion represents the actual value of the represented attribute of thesecond type of activity performed by the user. Alternatively oradditionally, second indicator 4104 can include a first portion (e.g.,portion 4104 a) that is representative of the value of the representedattribute of the second type of activity performed by the user and asecond portion (e.g, portion 4104 b) that is representative of adifference between the value of the represented attribute of the secondtype of activity and the second goal value. As shown, the first portion4104 a can be given a color or shading that differs from that of thesecond portion 4104 b. Further, a ratio between a size of the firstportion 4104 a and a size of the second portion 4104 b can be equal to aratio between the total amount of the second type of activity performedby the user and the difference between the total amount of the secondtype of activity performed by the user and the second goal value.

In some examples, second indicator 4104 can include a visual indicatorrepresentative of the type of activity that it represents (e.g., thedouble right-facing arrow at the top of the ring). Additionally, in someexamples, the leading edge of the completed portion 4104 a of the ringcan be displayed having a different appearance or texture than thetrailing parts of the completed portion 4104 a of the ring. For example,the leading edge of the completed portion 4104 a of the ring (e.g., theleading edge as the completed portion traverses the ring in theclockwise direction) can be displayed in a brighter shade of a color,while the trailing parts of the completed portion of the ring can bedisplayed in a darker shade of the same color. This allows a user toeasily view their progress towards the goal. Additionally, in someexamples, if the current value of the value represented by firstindicator 4104 exceeds the goal value, the leading edge of the completedportion 4104 a of the ring can continue to traverse the ring and overlapa previously completed portion of the ring. By displaying the leadingedge using a different shade or texture, the user can distinguish theleading edge from a previously completed portion of the ring.

Activity indicator 4101 can further include a third visualrepresentation of an attribute of a user's inactivity in the form ofthird indicator 4106. In some examples, third indicator 4106 can becontrolled and displayed in a manner similar or identical to that ofindicator 2306 of interface 2300 to represent an attribute of the secondtype of activity. For example, as discussed above, the user can becategorized as being inactive when the device detects that the user isnot engaged in a physical activity that meets a predetermined criteria.For example, inactivity can be characterized by the absence of the userengaging in a physical activity that meets a threshold intensity (e.g.,movement that expends a threshold number of Calories per unit time,movement that exceeds a threshold distance per unit time, or the like),the absence of the user engaging in a specified type of activity (e.g.,standing, walking, running, swimming, climbing stairs, or the like), ora combination thereof. Additionally, similar to indicator 2306 ofinterface 2300, third indicator 4106 can represent a third value of anyattribute of the user's inactivity, such as an amount, a duration, aprogress relative to a set value, a trend over a time period, or thelike. For example, the third value can represent the length of time thatthe user has been inactive.

In some examples, third indicator 4106 can further represent aninactivity threshold duration value for the represented attribute of theuser's inactivity. The inactivity threshold can have any predeterminedor user-selectable value, such as 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 1hour, or the like. In these examples, the size of third indicator 4106can be scaled such that its size represents the inactivity thresholdvalue, and a portion of third indicator 4106 can be marked such that themarked portion represents the actual value of the represented attributeof the user's inactivity. Alternatively or additionally, third indicator4106 can include a first portion (e.g., portion 4106 a) that isrepresentative of the value of the represented attribute of the user'sinactivity and a second portion (e.g., portion 4106 b) that isrepresentative of a difference between the value of the representedattribute of the user's inactivity and the inactivity threshold value.As shown, the first portion 4106 a can be given a color or shading thatdiffers from that of the second portion 4106 b. Further, a ratio betweena size of the first portion 4106 a and a size of the second portion 4106b can be equal to a ratio between the total amount of the user'sinactivity and the difference between the total amount of the user'sinactivity and the inactivity threshold value.

In other examples, third indicator 4106 can instead represent the numberof times that the user remained inactive for a continuous segment oftime equal to the inactivity threshold duration (e.g., the value of theinactivity counter controlled at block 2410 of process 2400). In theseexamples, the size of third indicator 4106 can be scaled such that itssize represents the number of time segments equal to the inactivitythreshold duration that have passed during a certain period of time, anda portion of third indicator 4106 can be marked such that the markedportion represents the number of times that the user remained inactivefor a continuous segment of time equal to the inactivity thresholdduration during the same period of time. For example, if the inactivitythreshold duration is equal to one hour and the period of time that isbeing monitored is one day, third indicator 4106 can include a secondportion (e.g., portion 4106 b) that is representative of a number oftimes that the user remained inactive for one continuous hour in the dayand a first portion (e.g., portion 4106 a) that is representative of thedifference between the number of times that the user remained inactivefor one continuous hour in the day and the number of hours that haveoccurred in the day. Thus, if four hours have elapsed in the day (e.g.,it is 4:00 am) and the user has been inactive for one continuous houronly once, second portion 4106 b can occupy one-fourth of thirdindicator 4106, and first portion 4106 a can occupy three-fourths ofthird indicator 4106 to signify that the user avoided being inactive fora continuous hour for three-fourths of the hours in the day. In thisway, a third indicator 4106 that is fully occupied by first portion 4106a can indicate that the user was never inactive for a continuous hourduring the day. The completed percentage of third indicator 4106 (e.g.,percentage of third indicator 4106 occupied by first portion 4106 a) candecrease or increase as the user becomes inactive for segments of timeequal to the inactivity threshold or avoids being inactive for segmentsof time equal to the inactivity threshold. As shown, the first portion4106 a can be given a color or shading that differs from that of thesecond portion 4106 b. Further, a ratio between a size of the secondportion 4106 b and a size of the second portion 4106 a can be equal to aratio between the number of time segments equal to the inactivitythreshold that have passed during a certain period of time and thedifference between the number of time segments equal to the inactivitythreshold that have passed during a certain period of time and thenumber of times that the user remained inactive for a continuous segmentof time equal to the inactivity threshold during the same period oftime.

In yet other examples, third indicator 4106 can instead represent anumber of segments of time during which the user performed a thresholdamount of a predetermined type of activity. In these examples, the sizeof third indicator 4106 can be scaled such that its size represents apredetermined (or goal) number of time segments that are each equal to apredetermined duration of time. In these examples, a portion of thirdindicator 4106 can be marked such that the marked portion represents thenumber of segments of time during which the user performed the thresholdamount of the predetermined type of activity. For example, thepredetermined number of time segments can be equal to 12 and thepredetermined duration of each of these segments can be 1 hour.Additionally, the threshold amount of the predetermined type of activitycan be 60 seconds (within a continuous 90 second segment of time) ofstanding. Thus, for each hour-long segment of time e.g., 12-1 a.m., 1-2a.m., 2-3 a.m., etc.) that the user stands for at least 60 secondswithin a continuous 90 second segment of time, the size of first portion4106 a can be increased in size to occupy an additional (12) of thirdindicator 4106. Second portion 4106 b can be representative of a numberof segments of time equal to a difference between the predeterminednumber of time segments (12) and the number of time segments duringwhich the user performed the threshold amount of the predetermined typeof activity. Thus, if the user stood for at least 60 seconds within a 90second segment of time during 4 hours during the day, first portion 4106a can occupy one-third of third indicator 4106 (4 segments out of 12segments), and second portion 4106 b can occupy two-thirds of thirdindicator 4106 (8 segments out of 12 segments). In this way, as the userstands for at least 60 seconds within a 90 second segment of time in anhour, first portion 4106 a of a third indicator 4106 can grow in sizeand traverse third indicator 4106 in a clockwise direction. A thirdsegment 4106 that is fully occupied by first portion 4106 a can indicatethat the user reached their goal of standing at least 60 seconds withina 90 second segment of time during the predetermined number of segmentsof time (12). As shown, the first portion 4106 a can be given a color orshading that differs from that of the second portion 4106 b.

In some examples, third indicator 4106 can include a visual indicatorrepresentative of the type of activity that it represents (e.g., theupward-facing arrow at the top of the ring). Additionally, in someexamples, the leading edge of the completed portion 4106 a of the ringcan be displayed having a different appearance or texture than thetrailing parts of the completed portion 4106 a of the ring. For example,the leading edge of the completed portion 4106 a of the ring (e.g., theleading edge as the completed portion traverses the ring in theclockwise direction) can be displayed in a brighter shade of a color,while the trailing parts of the completed portion of the ring can bedisplayed in a darker shade of the same color. This allows a user toeasily view their progress towards the goal. Additionally, in someexamples, if the current value of the value represented by indicator4106 exceeds the goal value, the leading edge of the completed portion4106 a of the ring can continue to traverse the ring and overlap apreviously completed portion of the ring. By displaying the leading edgeusing a different shade or texture, the user can distinguish the leadingedge from a previously completed portion of the ring.

Interface 4100 can further include a reference indicator representingsupplemental information relevant to the user's activity on any of thefirst, second, or third indicators 4102, 4104, or 4106. In theillustrated example, the additional reference indicators are shown asreference indicator 4108 along the rings of first indicator 4102.Examples of supplemental information that can be additionally providedon the display include, non-exclusively, timed-based goals that areadjusted in accordance with a passage of time (e.g., certainpercentage(s) of the goal to be completed by certain time(s) of a day,such as 10% to be completed by 10:00 am, 80% to be completed by 9:00 pm,etc. such that the indicator would be moving along the ring throughoutthe day to indicate the changing percentage of the goal to be completeddepending on the time of a day), history of user's past activity (e.g.,activity performed by a user of device 100 on a particular day of theweek, a highest/lowest or daily average amount of activity of a certaincategory performed by the user of the device over a month, a week, twodays, last day, etc.), activity data of other users different from theuser of the device (e.g., a highest/lowest, or daily average amount ofactivity of certain category performed by other users different from theuser of the device), or the like.

While not shown, interface 4100 can further include text representationsof the values of the attributes represented by indicators 4102, 4104,and 4106. Additionally, in some examples, each indicator can bedisplayed in a different color. In these examples, the first portion ofeach indicator can be displayed in a different shade of color than thesecond portion of the same indicator. For example, the first portion4102 a can be displayed as bright green, while the second portion 4102 bcan be displayed as a dark or grayed-out green.

Referring back to FIG. 40, at block 4004, one or more processors of thedevice can receive activity data that is representative of sensedphysical activity of a user from an activity sensor. Block 4004 can besimilar or identical to blocks 1504 and 2204. At block 4008 the one ormore processors can process the received activity data to determinewhether the activity data indicates that a physical activity, as opposedto a gesture, has been performed by the user of the device in a mannersimilar or identical to that of block 1506, described above. At block4010, the one or more processors can determine a type of the detectedphysical activity in a manner similar or identical to that of block 1508of process 1500 and to that of process 1600, described above. At block4012, the one or more processors can update the monitored attributes ofthe detected physical activity in a manner similar or identical to thatof block 1510 of process 1500 and to that of process 1600, describedabove. At block 4014, the one or more processors can control an activitytimer that measures a length of time that the user is inactive based onthe activity data received at block 4004 in a manner similar oridentical to that of block 2206 of process 2200 and to that of process2400, described above.

The blocks of process 4000 can be repeated any number of times at and atany desired interval of time to detect a user's activity/inactivity andto update the display of the combined activity/inactivity trackinginterface accordingly. Additionally, it should be appreciated that whilethe blocks of process 4000 are shown in a particular order, the blockscan be performed in any order or at the same time. For example, thecombined activity/inactivity tracking interface can be repeatedlyupdated at block 4002 at any desired interval of time while activitydata is being received at block 4004 and processed to control the atblock 4004 and processed at blocks 4008, 4010, and 4010 to update theattributes of the various types of physical activity being monitored toprovide the user with current or real-time activity and inactivityinformation. In other examples where the physical activity applicationis running in the background of the device or while the display of thedevice is deactivated, block 4002 can be omitted and the remainingblocks of process 4000 can repeatedly be performed to monitor the user'sphysical activity and update the monitored attributes such that anaccurate display of the attributes can later be provided to the userwhen the physical activity application is reopened or the display of thedevice is activated.

Note that details of the processes described above with respect toprocesses 4000 (e.g., FIG. 40) are also applicable in an analogousmanner to the other processes described herein. For example, processes1500, 1600, 2200, 2400, 4800, 7900, 8600, and 9200 may include one ormore of the characteristics of the various methods described above withreference to processes 4000. For example, the activity data, activitytypes, displayed values and other elements described above withreference to processes 4000 optionally have one or more of thecharacteristics of the activity data, activity types, displayed valuesand other elements described herein (e.g., processes 1500, 1600, 2200,2400, 4800, 7900, 8600, and 9200). For brevity, these details are notrepeated.

Other interfaces can be displayed to provide additional informationassociated with the attributes represented by the indicators ofinterface 4100. These other interfaces can be displayed in response to atap, swipe, or other gesture performed while interface 4100 is displayedon the device. For example, interface 4200, shown in FIG. 42, can bedisplayed in response to a swipe gesture performed from right to left ofthe display while interface 4100 is displayed. Interface 4200 caninclude first indicator 4102 of interface 4100 having first portion 4102a and second portion 4102 b. Unlike in interface 4100, first indicator4102 can be displayed within interface 4200 without second and thirdindicators 4104 and 4106. Interface 4200 can further include a textrepresentation 4202 of the current value of the attribute represented byfirst portion 4102 a and a text representation 4204 of the goal valueattribute represented by first indicator 4102. For example, textrepresentation 4202 indicates that first portion 4102 a represents 300Calories and text representation 4204 indicates that the entire firstindicator 4102 represents a goal value of 600 Calories. Thus, interface4200 indicates that the user has expended 300 Calories and has a goal of600 Calories. Interface 4100 can be displayed again in response to aswipe gesture performed from left to right of the display whileinterface 4200 is being displayed.

FIG. 43 illustrates another example interface 4300 that can be displayedin response to a swipe gesture performed from the bottom to the top ofthe display while interface 4200 is displayed. Interface 4300 canrepresent a more detailed view of the information displayed in interface4200 and can include attribute label 4302 indicating the type ofinformation being displayed within interface 4300, value 4304 indicatingthe value of the attribute (e.g., represented by first portion 4102 a inFIGS. 41 and 42), and graph 4306 showing the value of the measuredattribute over time. For example, attribute label 4302 indicates thatthe attribute being displayed is Calories expended, value 4304 indicatesthat 300 Calories have been expended, and graph 4306 shows the amount ofCalories expended at various times throughout the day. Interface 4200can be displayed again in response to a swipe gesture performed from thetop to the bottom of the display while interface 4300 is beingdisplayed.

FIG. 44 illustrates another example interface 4400 that can be displayedin response to a swipe gesture performed from right to left of thedisplay while interface 4200 is being displayed. Interface 4400 caninclude second indicator 4104 of interface 4100 having first portion4104 a and second portion 4104 b. Unlike in interface 4100, secondindicator 4104 can be displayed within interface 4400 without first andthird indicators 4102 and 4106. Interface 4400 can further include atext representation 4402 of the value of the attribute represented byfirst portion 4104 a and a text representation 4404 of the goal valuerepresented by second indicator 4104. For example, text representation4402 indicates that first portion 4104 a represents 11 minutes and textrepresentation 4404 indicates that the entire second indicator 4104represents a goal value of 30 minutes. Thus, interface 4400 indicatesthat the user has performed 11 minutes of a second type of physicalactivity (represented by second indicator 4104) and has a goal ofperforming 30 minutes of this second type of physical activity.Interface 4200 can be displayed again in response to a swipe gestureperformed from left to right of the display while interface 4300 isbeing displayed.

FIG. 45 illustrates another example interface 4500 that can be displayedin response to a swipe gesture performed from the bottom to the top ofthe display while interface 4400 is displayed. Interface 4500 canrepresent a more detailed view of the information displayed in interface4400 and can include attribute label 4502 indicating the type ofinformation being displayed within interface 4500, value 4504 indicatingthe value of the attribute (e.g., represented by first portion 4104 a inFIGS. 41 and 42), and graph 4506 showing the value of the measuredattribute over time. For example, attribute label 4502 indicates thatthe attribute being displayed is minutes performing the second type ofactivity, value 4504 indicates that the user has performed 11 minutes ofthe second type of activity, and graph 4506 shows the amount of timeperforming the second type of activity at various times throughout theday. Interface 4400 can be displayed again in response to a swipegesture performed from the top to the bottom of the display whileinterface 4500 is being displayed.

FIG. 46 illustrates another example interface 4600 that can be displayedin response to a swipe gesture performed from right to left of thedisplay while interface 4400 is being displayed. Interface 4600 caninclude third indicator 4106 of interface 4100 having first portion 4106a and second portion 4106 b. Unlike in interface 4100, third indicator4106 can be displayed within interface 4600 without first and secondindicators 4102 and 4104. Interface 4600 can further include a textrepresentation 4602 of the value represented by first portion 4106 a anda text representation 4604 of the value represented by third indicator4106. For example, text representation 4602 indicates that first portion4106 a represents 9 hour-long segments of time and text representation4604 indicates that the entire third indicator 4106 represents 12hour-long segments of time. Thus, interface 4600 indicates that the userhas performed a threshold amount of a predetermined type of activityduring 9 hour-long segments of time and has a goal of performing thethreshold amount of the predetermined type of activity during 12hour-long segments. Interface 4400 can be displayed again in response toa swipe gesture performed from left to right of the display whileinterface 4600 is being displayed.

FIG. 47 illustrates another example interface 4700 that can be displayedin response to a swipe gesture performed from the bottom to the top ofthe display while interface 4600 is displayed. Interface 4700 canrepresent a more detailed view of the information displayed in interface4600 and can include attribute label 4702 indicating the type ofinformation being displayed within interface 4700, value 4704 indicatingthe value of the attribute (e.g., represented by first portion 4106 a inFIGS. 41 and 42), and graphical representation 4706 showing the hoursduring the day counting toward the value represented by first portion4106 a in FIGS. 41 and 42. For example, attribute label 4702 indicatesthat the attribute being displayed is hour-long segments of time duringwhich the user performed the threshold amount of the predetermined typeof activity, value 4704 indicates that the user performed the thresholdamount of the predetermined type of activity during 9 hour-long segmentsof time, and graphical representation 4706 shows the hours during theday during which the user performed the threshold amount of thepredetermined type of physical activity (represented by shaded bars).Interface 4600 can be displayed again in response to a swipe gestureperformed from the top to the bottom of the display while interface 4700is being displayed.

While the examples provided above recite specific lengths of time,amounts of activity, and the like, it should be appreciated that thosevalues are provided only as examples and that any other values can beused.

Workout Monitor

Referring back to FIG. 8, in some examples, in response to a userselection of an application icon 802 corresponding to a workoutapplication for monitoring a user's workout, the workout application canbe opened and process 4800, shown in FIG. 48, can be performed. Process4800 can be performed by device 100, 300, 500, or 610 to detect movementassociated with the device during a workout, recognizing it as beingassociated with a physical activity performed by the user using thedevice, monitoring various attributes of the detected physical activity,determining attributes of the workout based on the monitored attributesof the detected physical activity, and displaying one or more of theattributes of the workout on a display of the device. Some operations inprocess 4800 may be combined, the order of some operations may bechanged, and some operations may be omitted.

As described below, process 4800 provides intuitive ways to monitorattributes of a user's physical activity or inactivity and generate userinterfaces for displaying the same. The process reduces the cognitiveburden on a user when monitoring attributes of the user's physicalactivity or inactivity, thereby creating a more efficient human-machineinterface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user tomonitor attributes of the user's physical activity or inactivity andgenerate user interfaces for displaying the same more quickly and moreefficiently conserves power and increases the time between batterycharges.

At block 4802, the one or more processors of the device can receive aselection of a type of workout. The selected type of workout can includeany type of workout, such as running, walking, cycling, swimming, yoga,dancing, climbing, cross-training, rowing, or the like. In someexamples, the one or more processors of the device can cause, on thedisplay of the device, a display of a list of available types ofworkouts that a user can select. In these examples, the selection of thetype of workout can be received by the one or more processors of thedevice in response to a user indicating a selection of one of thedisplayed available types of workouts (e.g., via mouse click, touch on atouch sensitive display, or the like).

For example, FIG. 49 illustrates an example interface 4900 that can bedisplayed at block 4802 of process 4800. As shown, interface 4900 caninclude an application identifier 4902 indicating that the “Workout”application is being displayed, a time indicator 4904 indicating thecurrent time, and a list of workout types 4906 that includes a list ofselectable objects associated with available workouts that can beselected by a user. The types of workouts contained in the list ofworkout types 4906 can be ordered in any desired manner, such asalphabetically, by frequency of performance, by time since lastperformed, in a user-selected order, or combinations thereof. Forexample, the first selectable object can correspond to the workout thatwas most recently performed by the user (“Running”), and the remainingselectable objects can be ordered based on a frequency that thecorresponding workouts have been performed. In some examples, the listof workout types 4906 can include more types of workouts than can bedisplayed at one time on the display of the device. In these examples,the device can display the other types of workouts in response to a userinitiating a scroll operation e.g., by making a swipe or touch and dragmotion on the touch sensitive display). While FIG. 49 shows an examplelist of workout types 4906, it should be appreciated that the list ofworkout types 4906 can include any number and types of workouts.

FIG. 50 illustrates another example interface 5000 that can be displayedat block 4802 of process 4800. Similar to interface 4900, interface 5000can include an application identifier 4902, a time indicator 4904, and alist of workout types 4906. However, in interface 5000, one selectableobject associated with a type of workout in the list of workout types4906 can be larger than the selectable objects associated with othertypes of workouts and can include additional information about theworkout type. This selectable object can correspond to the workout thatwas most recently performed by the user. For example, as shown in FIG.50, the selectable object for the “Running” workout type can be twice aslarge as the other selectable objects and can include informationassociated with the most recent workout of that type. In particular,information about the date, distance, pace, and elapsed time of the mostrecent run is displayed on the selectable object for the “Running” typeof workout. The selectable objects below the larger selectable objectcan be ordered based on a frequency that the corresponding workouts areperformed. Alternatively, the objects may be ordered by recency, or acombination of recency and frequency. In some examples, an interfacesimilar to interface 4900 can be displayed the first time that a user isusing the workout application on the device, while an interface similarto interface 5000 can be displayed during any subsequent use of theapplication.

At block 4804, a goal for the type of workout selected at block 4802 canbe received. The goal can include an identification of an attribute ofthe selected workout (e.g., a distance, a duration, a number of Caloriesburned, a pace, or the like) and a goal value for the attribute. Forexample, for a running type of workout, the goal received at block 4804can include a distance attribute and a value of 10 kilometers. Anotherexample goal can include a duration attribute and a value of 45 minutes,or a Calorie attribute and a value of 500 Calories. In some examples,the one or more processors of the device can cause, on the display ofthe device, a display of an interface that allows the user to select anattribute of the workout and to enter a desired value for thatattribute.

For example, FIG. 51 illustrates an example interface 5100 that can bedisplayed at block 4804 of process 4800 in response to receiving aselection of a “running” type of workout at block 4802 (e.g., by a userselecting the “Running” option in either interface 4900 or 5000). Asshown, interface 5100 can include a workout type identifier 5102indicating that the “Running” type of workout was selected, a timeindicator 5104 indicating the current time, a value 5106 for theattribute of the workout, buttons 5108 and 5110 for adjusting the value5106, a best value 5112 of the attribute of the workout, and a startbutton 5114 for selecting the goal and beginning the workout. In thisexample, the distance attribute of the workout is being selected and thevalue for that attribute can be selected by adjusting value 5106 up ordown using buttons 5110 or 5108, respectively. In other examples, thevalue for that attribute can be selected by moving (e.g., rotating) arotatable input mechanism of the device. The initial value 5106displayed in interface 5100 can be a default value (e.g., 0), a valueused in a previous workout, an average value from two or more previousworkouts, or any other desired value. Once the desired value 5106 isdisplayed, a user can select the start button 5114 to set the workoutgoal to be a distance goal having the value of value 5106. In someexamples, best value 5112 can be selectable and can cause the goal ofthe workout to be the attribute and value of the displayed best value5112. For example, in response to a selection of best value 5112 made bya user tapping on the touch-sensitive display at a locationcorresponding to best value 5112, the goal of the workout can be set toa distance goal of 5.0 miles. In other examples, best value 5112 canrepresent a value determined based on past performance of the user, theuser's contacts, the user's friends, a predefined group of users, or thelike. For example, best value 5112 can instead represent the longestdistance run by the user over a predetermined length of time (e.g., thelast week), an average distance run by the user, an average distance runby the user over a predetermined length of time (e.g., the last week), alongest distance run by the user's contacts/friends/running group, alongest distance run by the user's contacts/friends/running group over apredetermined length of time (e.g., the last week), an average distancerun by the user's contacts/friends/running group, an average distancerun by the user's contacts/friends/running group over a predeterminedlength of time (e.g., the last week), or the like. In some examples, thedevice can allow a user to select a different attribute of the workoutas the goal by displaying a different interface associated with adifferent attribute of the workout in response to a request from theuser. In some examples, the request can be made by a vertical orhorizontal swipe gesture across the touch sensitive display of thedevice, a button press, a movement of a rotatable input mechanism of thedevice, a user contact having a characteristic intensity above anintensity threshold on a display of the device, or any other desiredform of input.

FIG. 52 illustrates another example interface 5200 that can be displayedat block 4804 of process 4800 in response to receiving a selection of a“running” type of workout at block 4802 (e.g., by a user selecting the“Running” option in either interface 4900 or 5000) or in response to arequest to select a different workout attribute from interface 5100.Similar to interface 5100, interface 5200 can include a workout typeidentifier 5102 indicating that the “Running” type of workout wasselected, a time indicator 5104 indicating the current time, a value5106 for the attribute of the workout, buttons 5108 and 5110 foradjusting the value 5106, a best value 5112 of the attribute of theworkout, and a start button 5114 for selecting the goal and beginningthe workout. In this example, the Calories burned attribute of theworkout is being selected and the value for that attribute can beselected by adjusting value 5106 up or down using buttons 5110 or 5108,respectively. In other examples, the value for that attribute can beselected by moving (e.g., rotating) a rotatable input mechanism of thedevice. The initial value 5106 displayed in interface 5200 can be adefault value (e.g., 0), a value used in a previous workout, an averagevalue from two or more previous workouts, or any other desired value.Once the desired value 5106 is displayed, a user can select the startbutton 5114 to set the workout goal to be a Calorie goal having thevalue of value 5106. In some examples, best value 5112 can be selectableand can cause the goal of the workout to be the attribute and value ofthe displayed best value 5112. For example, in response to a selectionof best value 5112 made by a user tapping on the touch-sensitive displayat a location corresponding to best value 5112, the goal of the workoutcan be set to a Calorie goal of 625 Calories. In other examples, bestvalue 5112 can represent a value determined based on past performance ofthe user, the user's contacts, the user's friends, a predefined group ofusers, or the like. For example, best value 5112 can instead representthe most Calories burned by the user over a predetermined length of time(e.g., the last week), an average number of Calories burned by the user,an average number of Calories burned by the user over a predeterminedlength of time (e.g., the last week), the most Calories burned by theuser's contacts/friends/running group, a most Calories burned by theuser's contacts/friends/running group over a predetermined length oftime (e.g., the last week), an average number of Calories burned by theuser's contacts/friends/running group, an average number of Caloriesburned by the user's contacts/friends/running group over a predeterminedlength of time (e.g., the last week), or the like. In some examples, thedevice can allow a user to select a different attribute of the workoutas the goal by displaying a different interface associated with adifferent attribute of the workout in response to a request from theuser. In some examples, the request can be made by a vertical orhorizontal swipe gesture across the touch sensitive display of thedevice, a button press, a movement of a rotatable input mechanism of thedevice, a user contact having a characteristic intensity above anintensity threshold on a display of the device, or any other desiredform of input.

FIG. 53 illustrates another example interface 5300 that can be displayedat block 4804 of process 4800 in response to receiving a selection of a“running” type of workout at block 4802 (e.g., by a user selecting the“Running” option in either interface 4900 or 5000) or in response to arequest to select a different workout attribute from interface 5100 or5200. Similar to interfaces 5100 and 5200, interface 5300 can include aworkout type identifier 5102 indicating that the “Running” type ofworkout was selected, a time indicator 5104 indicating the current time,a value 5106 for the attribute of the workout, buttons 5108 and 5110 foradjusting the value 5106, a best value 5112 of the attribute of theworkout, and a start button 5114 for selecting the goal and beginningthe workout. In this example, the duration attribute of the workout isbeing selected and the value for that attribute can be selected byadjusting value 5106 up or down using buttons 5110 or 5108,respectively. In other examples, the value for that attribute can beselected by moving (e.g., rotating) a rotatable input mechanism of thedevice. The initial value 5106 displayed in interface 5300 can be adefault value (e.g., 0), a value used in a previous workout, an averagevalue from two or more previous workouts, or any other desired value.Once the desired value 5106 is displayed, a user can select the startbutton 5114 to set the workout goal to be a duration goal having thevalue of value 5106. In some examples, best value 5112 can be selectableand can cause the goal of the workout to be the attribute and value ofthe displayed best value 5112. For example, in response to a selectionof best value 5112 made by a user tapping on the touch-sensitive displayat a location corresponding to best value 5112, the goal of the workoutcan be set to a duration goal of 57 minutes. In other examples, bestvalue 5112 can represent a value determined based on past performance ofthe user, the user's contacts, the user's friends, a predefined group ofusers, or the like. For example, best value 5112 can instead representthe greatest length of time run by the user over a predetermined lengthof time (e.g., the last week), an average length of time run by theuser, an average length of time run by the user over a predeterminedlength of time (e.g., the last week), a greatest length of time run bythe user's contacts/friends/running group, a greatest length of time runby the user's contacts/friends/running group over a predetermined lengthof time (e.g., the last week), an average length of time run by theuser's contacts/friends/running group, an average length of time run bythe user's contacts/friends/running group over a predetermined length oftime (e.g., the last week), or the like. In some examples, the devicecan allow a user to select a different attribute of the workout as thegoal by displaying a different interface associated with a differentattribute of the workout in response to a request from the user. In someexamples, the request can be made by a vertical or horizontal swipegesture across the touch sensitive display of the device, a buttonpress, a movement of a rotatable input mechanism of the device, a usercontact having a characteristic intensity above an intensity thresholdon a display of the device, or any other desired form of input.

FIG. 54 illustrates another example interface 5400 that can be displayedat block 4804 of process 4800 in response to receiving a selection of a“running” type of workout at block 4802 (e.g., by a user selecting the“Running” option in either interface 4900 or 5000) or in response to arequest to select a different workout attribute from interface 5100,5200, or 5300. Similar to interfaces 5100 5200, and 5300, interface 5400can include a workout type identifier 5102 indicating that the “Running”type of workout was selected, a time indicator 5104 indicating thecurrent time, and a start button 5114 for selecting the goal andbeginning the workout. However, since interface 5400 may be used toperform a workout without a specific goal, interface 5400 may notinclude a value 5106 for the attribute of the workout, buttons 5108 and5110 for adjusting the value 5106, and a best value 5112 of theattribute of the workout.

In some examples, the color of the text and/or any other elementdisplayed in interfaces 5100, 5200, 5300, and 5400 can be color-codedbased on the associated attribute of the workout. For example, the textand/or elements displayed within interface 5100 can be displayed using afirst color (e.g., blue) associated with the distance attribute, thetext and/or elements displayed within interface 5200 can be displayedusing a second color (e.g., pink) associated with the Calorie attribute,the text and/or elements displayed within interface 5300 can bedisplayed using a third color (e.g., yellow) associated with theduration attribute, and the text and/or elements displayed withininterface 5400 can be displayed using a fourth color (e.g., green)associated with another attribute or with selecting no attribute.

In some examples, the device can select one of interfaces 5100, 5200,5300, and 5400 to display at block 4804 based on the workout attributeselected as a goal for the last workout, the frequency that the workoutattributes have been selected as a goal for previous workouts, auser-selected preference, or the like.

While example interfaces for selecting specific workout attributes forthe “running” type of workout have been provided in FIGS. 51-54, itshould be appreciated that interfaces for selecting any workoutattribute of any type of workout can be provided based on the types ofattributes associated with the workout selected at block 4802. Forexample, if the type of workout selected at block 4802 was “yoga,” aninterface for selecting a duration goal or a Calorie goal may bedisplayed, but an interface for selecting a distance goal may not bedisplayed.

Additionally, it should be appreciated that the interfaces can includeother input mechanisms for selecting a goal value, such as a text box, alist, a pull-down menu, or the like. For example, FIG. 55 illustratesanother example interface 5500 that can be displayed at block 4804 ofprocess 4800 in response to receiving a selection of a “running” type ofworkout at block 4802 (e.g., by a user selecting the “Running” option ineither interface 4900 or 5000) or in response to a request to select adifferent workout attribute from interface 5100, 5200, 5300, or 5400.For example, interface 5500 can be displayed in response to detecting auser contact having a characteristic intensity above an intensitythreshold on a display of the device or in response to a swipe gestureacross a touch-sensitive display while interface 5100 is beingdisplayed. Since interface 5100 is associated with the distance workoutattribute, interface 5500 can also be associated with the distanceworkout attribute. Similar to interfaces 5100, 5200,5300, and 5400,interface 5500 can include a workout type identifier 5102 indicatingthat the “Running” type of workout was selected and a time indicator5104 indicating the current time. However, interface 5500 can furtherinclude a list of common goal values 5502. The list can include valuesfrequently selected by the user, values frequently selected by multipleusers, values associated with a popular or current event (e.g., adistance used by an Olympic event, a distance of a charity run, etc.).In other examples, the list can include values determined based on pastperformance of the user, the user's contacts, the user's friends, apredefined group of users, or the like. For example, the list caninclude a longest distance run by the user, a longest distance run bythe user over a predetermined length of time (e.g., the last week), anaverage distance run by the user, an average distance run by the userover a predetermined length of time (e.g., the last week), a longestdistance run by the user's contacts/friends/running group, a longestdistance run by the user's contacts/friends/running group over apredetermined length of time (e.g., the last week), an average distancerun by the user's contacts/friends/running group, an average distancerun by the user's contacts/friends/running group over a predeterminedlength of time (e.g., the last week), or the like. In response to aselection of one of values 5502, the goal of the workout can be selectedto be the attribute associated with interface 5500 and the selectedvalue 5502. For example, in response to a selection of the “5K” value5502, the goal of the workout can be set to a distance goal of 5kilometers. While interface 5500 shows example values for the distanceattribute, it should be appreciated that similar interfaces can bedisplayed for other workout attributes in response to a user request(e.g., a user contact having a characteristic intensity above anintensity threshold on a display of the device) while other interfaces5200, 5300, or 5400 (or other interfaces for other workout attributes)are being displayed and can include a list of common values for thoseother workout attributes.

In some examples, in response to a selection of start button 5114 in anyof interfaces 5100, 5200, 5300, or 5400, or in response to a selectionof one of the commonly used values 5502 in interface 5500, the devicecan display a countdown before beginning the workout selected at block4802 using the goal selected at block 4804. FIGS. 56, 57, 58, and 59illustrate example interfaces 5600, 5700, 5800, and 5900 having a timerring 5602 that can be displayed. In these examples, the countdown can bethree seconds long. However, other durations (including zero) can beused.

Referring back to FIG. 48, at block 4806 the workout can be initiatedand a workout interface can be displayed. Initiating the workout caninclude activating one or more activity sensors (e.g., sensors 168, 359,and 520) and recording activity data provided by those one or moreactivity sensors. In some examples, the activity sensors activated atblock 4806 can be selected based on the type of workout selected atblock 4802. For example, a biometric sensor for measuring heart rate,GPS sensor for measuring position, and accelerometer for measuringmotion to determine distance traveled can be activated if a running typeof workout was selected at block 4802. However, if a cycling type ofworkout was selected at block 4802, a biometric sensor for measuringheart rate and a GPS sensor for measuring position may be activated atblock 4802, but an accelerometer may not be activated. This may be donebecause an accelerometer may not provide reliable information indetermining distance traveled on a bike and can be left inactive to savepower. Other combinations of activity sensors can selectively beactivated for other types of workouts.

In some examples, the workout interface displayed at block 4806 caninclude information associated with one or more attributes of theworkout and the goal selected at block 4804. FIG. 60 illustrates anexample workout interface 6000 that can be displayed at block 4806 inresponse to receiving a selection of a “running” type of workout atblock 4802 (e.g., by a user selecting the “Running” option in eitherinterface 4900 or 5000). As shown, interface 6000 can include a workouttype identifier 6002 indicating that the “Running” type of workout wasselected, a time indicator 6004 indicating the current time, a firstindicator 6006 indicating a progress relative to the goal selected atblock 4804, a second indicator 6010 providing information associatedwith a workout attribute, and a workout attribute indicator 6012identifying the workout attribute represented by second indicator 6010.

First indicator 6006 can include a representation of the current valueand goal value of workout attribute selected as the goal at block 4804.In the example shown in FIG. 60, first indicator 6006 can include a ringhaving two visually distinct parts—a completed portion of the ring andan uncompleted portion of the ring. While not shown, in some examples,the uncompleted portion of the ring can be shaded or colored in a mannerthat is visually distinct from the completed portion. The two parts ofthe ring can be scaled to visually indicate relative progressivemeasures of the current value of the goal attribute compared to the goalvalue of the attribute. For example, the ring of first indicator 6006can be scaled such that the entire length of its circumferencerepresents the goal value of the selected workout attribute (e.g., adistance goal of 4 miles). The completed portion of the ring can beconfigured to represent the current value of the workout attribute(e.g., current distance of 3.0 miles traveled during the workout) andthe remaining uncompleted portion of the ring can be configured torepresent the amount remaining to be completed by the user to achievethe goal (e.g., 1 mile). In other words, the completed portion of thering represents what user has achieved, and the uncompleted portion ofthe ring represents what user needs to achieve to complete goal.Respective sizes of the completed and uncompleted portions of the ringcan be updated in real-time to reflect the most current progressivemeasure of the workout attribute. For example, as additional activity isdetected, the completed portion of the ring can increase in size in theclockwise direction and the uncompleted portion of the ring can decreasein size. In this way, the ring can start as being entirely uncompleted,and as the user gets closer to reaching the goal value, the ring canbegin to become completed in the clockwise direction.

In some examples, the leading edge of the completed portion of the ringof first indicator 6006 can be displayed having a different appearanceor texture than the trailing parts of the completed portion of the ring.For example, the leading edge of the completed portion of the ring(e.g., the leading edge as the completed portion traverses the ring inthe clockwise direction) can be displayed in a brighter shade of acolor, while the trailing parts of the completed portion of the ring canbe displayed in a darker shade of the same color. This allows a user toeasily view their progress towards the workout goal. Additionally, insome examples, if the current value of the attribute represented byfirst indicator 6006 exceeds the goal value, the leading edge of thecompleted portion of the ring can continue to traverse the ring andoverlap a previously completed portion of the ring. By displaying theleading edge using a different shade or texture, the user candistinguish the leading edge from a previously completed portion of thering.

In some examples, first indicator 6006 can further include a referenceindicator 6008 representing supplemental information relevant to theuser's workout. Examples of supplemental information that can beadditionally provided on the display include, non-exclusively,timed-based goals that are adjusted in accordance with a passage of time(e.g., certain percentage(s) of the goal to be completed by certain timewithin the workout, such as 10% to be completed by 10 minutes into theworkout, 80% to be completed by 80 minutes into the workout, etc. suchthat the indicator would be moving along the ring throughout the workoutto indicate the changing percentage of the goal to be completeddepending on the time during the workout), history of user's pastworkout(s) (e.g., amount of the attribute attained at the same timeduring a previous workout performed by the user, a best workoutperformed by the user, or an average workout performed by the user),workout data of other users different from the user of the device (e.g.,amount of the attribute attained at the same time during a previousworkout performed by one or more other users, a best workout performedby one or more other users, or an average workout performed by one ormore other users), or the like.

Second indicator 6010 can include a representation of a current value ofa workout attribute of the type of workout selected at block 4802. Theworkout attribute represented by second indicator 6010 can be the sameworkout attribute represented by first indicator 6006 or can represent adifferent workout attribute. In the example shown in FIG. 60, secondindicator 6010 can represent the current value of the distance attributeof the workout, which is the same workout attribute represented by firstindicator 6006. As shown, the current value of the distance attribute is3.0 miles, indicating that the user has run a total distance of 3.0miles during the current workout. Second indicator 6010 can be updatedin real-time to reflect the most current progressive measure of theworkout attribute. Workout attribute indicator 6012 provides a textualrepresentation of the workout attribute represented by second indicator6010.

In some examples, first indicator 6006 can be color-coded based on theworkout attribute that it represents. The colors can be the same asthose used in interfaces 5100, 5200, 5300, and 5400 to allow a user toquickly determine that attribute being represented. For example, sincefirst indicator 6006 represents the distance attribute, it can bedisplayed in the same color used to display interface 5100 (e.g., blue).Similarly, second indicator 6010 and attribute 6012 can also becolor-coded based on the workout attribute that they represent. Thecolors can be the same as those used in interfaces 5100, 5200, 5300, and5400. For example, since second indicator 6010 and attribute 6012represent the distance attribute, they can be displayed in the samecolor used to display interface 5100 (e.g., blue).

In some examples, the device can display a different attribute of theworkout for viewing within the workout interface in response to arequest from the user. In some examples, the request can be made by avertical or horizontal swipe gesture across the touch sensitive displayof the device, a touch on the touch sensitive display of the device, abutton press, a movement of a rotatable input mechanism of the device, auser contact having a characteristic intensity above an intensitythreshold on a display of the device, or any other desired form ofinput.

FIG. 61 illustrates another example interface 6100 that can be displayedin response to a request to view a different workout attribute frominterface 6000. Similar to interface 6000, interface 6100 can includethe workout type identifier 6002, time indicator 6004, first indicator6006, reference indicator 6008, second indicator 6010, and attributeindicator 6012. As shown, first indicator 6006 can represent the sameworkout attribute as that of first indicator 6006 in interface 6000(e.g., the distance attribute) because the goal of the workout has notchanged. However, the attribute represented by second indicator 6010 andattribute indicator 6012 in interface 6100 can be different than that ininterface 6000. In the illustrated example, second indicator 6010 andattribute indicator 6012 can represent the pace attribute of the workoutand can indicate that the user is currently running at an 8 minute permile pace. By changing the attribute represented by second indicator6010 and attribute indicator 1612, the device can allow a user tocustomize the workout interface to display information that is ofinterest to the user.

FIGS. 62 and 63 illustrate other example interfaces 6200 and 6300 thatcan be displayed in response to a request to view a different workoutattribute from interface 6000 or 6100. Similar to interfaces 6000 and6100, these interfaces can include the workout type identifier 6002,time indicator 6004, first indicator 6006, reference indicator 6008,second indicator 6010, and attribute indicator 6012. As shown in bothfigures, first indicator 6006 can represent the same workout attributeas that of first indicator 6006 in interfaces 6000 and 6100 (e.g., thedistance attribute) because the goal of the workout has not changed.However, the attribute represented by second indicator 6010 andattribute indicator 6012 in interfaces 6200 and 6300 can be differentthan those in interfaces 6000 and 6100. In particular, second indicator6010 and attribute indicator 6012 can represent a duration attribute ofthe workout in interface 6200 and a Calorie attribute of the workout ininterface 6300.

In some examples, the device can cause time indicator 6004 to representa different time value in response to a request from the user. In someexamples, the request can be made by a tap on time indicator 6004 on thetouch sensitive display of the device, a button press, a user contacthaving a characteristic intensity above an intensity threshold on adisplay of the device, or any other desired form of input. In responseto the request from the user, the device cause time indicator 6004 torepresent a different time value such as the current duration attributeof the workout or the current pace attribute of the workout.

For example, FIG. 64 illustrates an example interface 6400 that can bedisplayed in response to a request cause time indicator 6004 torepresent a different time value from interface 6300. Interface 6400 canbe identical to interface 6300, except that time indicator 6004 ininterface 6400 can instead represent the current duration of the workout(e.g., 24 minutes). Similarly, FIG. 65 illustrates an example interface6500 that can be displayed in response to a request cause time indicator6004 to represent a different time value from interface 6300 or 6400.Interface 6500 can be identical to interfaces 6300 and 6400, except thattime indicator 6004 in interface 6500 can instead represent the currentpace of the workout (e.g., 8 minutes per mile).

In some examples, if second indicator 6010 and attribute indicator 6012represent a time attribute associated with the workout (e.g., durationattribute or pace attribute), the device may not cause time indicator6004 to represent that same time attribute in response to a request fromthe user to change the time represented by time attribute 6004. Forexample, if second indicator 6010 and attribute indicator 6012 bothrepresent a duration attribute of the workout, repeated requests tochange the time represented by time indicator 6004 may cause the deviceto cause time indicator 6004 to sequentially change between the currenttime and the pace of the workout, but may not represent the duration ofthe workout.

Referring back to FIG. 48, at block 4808 one or more processors of thedevice can receive activity data that is representative of sensedphysical activity of a user from an activity sensor. At block 4810, theone or more processors can process the received activity data to updatevalues of attributes of the workout stored on the device. For example, atimer can be used to update the duration of the workout based on adifference between a current value of the timer and a value of the timerwhen the workout was initiated at block 4806. Additionally, anaccelerometer, motion sensor, gyroscope, biometric sensor, and/or GPSsensor can be used to update a distance traveled during the workout andcan additionally or alternatively be used to update a number of Caloriesburned during the workout (in combination with the user's age, gender,and weight). The timer can be used in combination with theaccelerometer, motion sensor, and/or GPS sensor to update a pace of theuser during the workout. Other activity sensors can similarly be used todetermine and update values of other workout attributes.

At block 4812, one or more processors of the device can update theworkout interface (e.g., those shown in FIGS. 60-65) to reflect theupdated values of the workout attributes determined at block 4810. Forexample, the first indicator 6006 can be adjusted to reflect the user'sprogress toward the goal, reference indicator 6008 can be moved toreflect the updated pace value, and second indicator 6010 can be updatedto reflect the updated value of the attribute represented by secondindicator 6010.

Blocks 4808, 4810, and 4812 can continue to be repeated to provide theuser with up to date information associated with the attributes of theworkout via the workout interface. In some examples where the workoutapplication is running in the background of the device or while thedisplay of the device is deactivated, block 4812 can be omitted andblocks 4808 and 4810 can repeatedly be performed to monitor the user'sworkout and update the monitored attributes such that an accuratedisplay of the attributes can later be provided to the user when thephysical activity application is reopened or the display of the deviceis activated. In some examples, upon activating the display of thedevice, the workout interface previously displayed (e.g., one of theinterfaces displayed in FIGS. 60-65) before deactivating the display canbe displayed. This workout interface can be displayed while the deviceis in a locked state or can be displayed in response to unlocking thedevice.

In some examples, process 4800 can further include providingnotifications to the user. The notifications can be triggered based onone or more of the attributes meeting one or more notification criteria.For example, FIG. 66 illustrates an example notification interface 6600that can be displayed by the device in response to the current distanceof the workout being equal to half of the goal value of the distanceattribute. As shown, interface 6600 can include a workout typeidentifier 6602 indicating that the “Running” type of workout wasselected, a time indicator 6604 indicating the current time, a firstindicator 6606, a reference indicator 6608, and a notificationdescription 6610. In some examples, first indicator 6606 and referenceindicator 6608 can be enlarged versions of first indicator 6006 andreference indicator 6008 of the workout interface. In some examples, thedisplay of interface 6600 can be accompanied by an audio and/or hapticnotification to get the user's attention if the user is not looking atthe device when the notification is triggered.

Note that details of the processes described above with respect toprocesses 4800 (e.g., FIG. 48) are also applicable in an analogousmanner to the other processes described herein. For example, processes1500, 1600, 2200, 2400, 4000, 7900, 8600, and 9200 may include one ormore of the characteristics of the various methods described above withreference to processes 4800. For example, the activity data, activitytypes, displayed values and other elements described above withreference to processes 4800 optionally have one or more of thecharacteristics of the activity data, activity types, displayed valuesand other elements described herein (e.g., processes 1500, 1600, 2200,2400, 4000, 7900, 8600, and 9200). For brevity, these details are notrepeated.

FIG. 67 illustrates another example notification interface 6700 that canbe displayed by the device in response to the user reaching the goal ofthe workout. Similar to interface 6600, interface 6700 can include aworkout type identifier 6602 indicating that the “Running” type ofworkout was selected, a time indicator 6604 indicating the current time,a first indicator 6606, a reference indicator 6608, and a notificationdescription 6610.

FIG. 68 illustrates another example notification interface 6800 that canbe displayed by the device in response to current value of an attributeof the workout being within a threshold value from the goal value andbeing done at a pace that is better than any previous workouts. Forexample, as shown in FIG. 68, the current value of the distance traveledis equal to 3.9 miles as indicated by description 6610 and is within athreshold value (e.g., 0.1 miles) from the goal value of 4.0 miles.Additionally, the pace of the user is better than a previous best pace(e.g., represented by reference indicator 6608) since the leading edgeof first indicator 6606 is closer to completing the ring than referenceindicator 6608. Thus, the device can cause a display of notificationinterface 6800 to notify the user that he/she is close to completing aworkout that breaks one or more workout attribute records. This canadvantageously motivate a user to finish their workout with additionaleffort to beat the previous record.

FIG. 69 illustrates another example notification interface 6900 that canbe displayed by the device in response to current value of an attributeof the workout being equal to half of the goal value of the workoutattribute and being done at a pace that is better than any previousworkouts. For example, as shown in FIG. 69, the current value of thedistance traveled is equal to 2.0 miles, which is equal to half of thegoal value of 4.0 miles. Additionally, the pace of the user is betterthan a previous best pace (e.g., represented by reference indicator6608) since the leading edge of first indicator 6606 is closer tocompleting the ring than reference indicator 6608. Thus, the devicecaused a display of notification interface 6900 to notify that user thathe/she is on the way to completing a workout that breaks one or moreworkout attribute records. This can advantageously motivate a user tofinish their workout with additional effort to beat the previous record.

While example notifications are described above, it should beappreciated that other notifications can be presented to the user inresponse to other notification criteria.

In some examples, the device can pause or end a workout in response to arequest from the user. In some examples, the request can be made by abutton press, a user contact having a characteristic intensity above anintensity threshold on a display of the device, or any other desiredform of input. For example, FIG. 70 illustrates an example interface7000 that can be displayed in response to a user contact having acharacteristic intensity above an intensity threshold on a display ofthe device while the workout interface is being displayed. As shown,interface 7000 can include a workout description 7002 identifying thetype of workout and the goal for the workout, a stop button 7004, and apause button 7006. In response to a selection of pause button 7006, theworkout can be paused, meaning that the one or more processors of thedevice stop receiving activity data from the activity sensors and/or donot include received activity data as part of the workout. For example,while paused, the duration of the workout may not be incremented withthe passage of time, the distance traveled may not be increased inresponse to movement by the user, and the Calories burned may not beincreased in response to movement by the user or passage of time.Additionally, in response to a selection of pause button 7006, thedevice can display the interface that was previously displayed when theuser pressed on the touch sensitive display, causing interface 7000 tobe shown. This can allow the user to navigate through the variousworkout interfaces to view any desired attribute of the workout.

In response to another button press, a user contact having acharacteristic intensity above an intensity threshold on a display ofthe device, or any other desired form of input while the workout ispaused, the device can display interface 7100. As shown, interface 7100can include a workout description 7002 identifying the type of workoutand the goal for the workout, a stop button 7004, and a resume button7102. In response to a selection of resume button 7102, the device canresume the workout and display the workout interface that was previouslydisplayed before interface 7100 was displayed. In other words, the oneor more processors of the device can resume receiving activity data fromthe activity sensors and/or can include received activity data as partof the workout. In response to a selection of stop button 7004 whileeither interface 7000 or 7100 is displayed, the device can end theworkout. In some examples, this can include deactivating some or all ofthe activity sensors and storing the attributes of the workout in thedevice as a completed workout. In some examples, the device can transmitthe stored workout attributes to be stored on a remote database (e.g.,to user server 714 to be stored on user database 716).

In some examples, after receiving a request to stop the workout viainterface 7000 or 7100, one or more processors of the device can cause adisplay of a summary of the completed workout. For example, FIG. 72illustrates example summary interface 7200 that can be displayed. Asshown, interface 7200 can include summary details 7210 that can includea date of the workout, a time the workout was performed, the weatherwhen the workout was performed, and information associated with otherworkout attributes (e.g., distance, pace, heart rate, duration, or thelike). In some examples, some or all of details 7210 can be selected tocause the device to display detailed information associated with theselected detail. For example, in response to a user selection of “Pace,”the device can display a breakdown of the user's pace over timethroughout the workout.

Additionally, interface 7200 can provide the user with rewards, such asa display one or more achievements in the form of badges or other visualrepresentations. The achievements can be awarded to a user in responseto the one or more of the attributes of the workout satisfying apredetermined criteria or an achievement criteria, such as breaking aworkout attribute record, performing a threshold number of workouts overa length of time (e.g., 5 workouts within 5 days, etc.), or the like.Additional rewards that can be provided to the user can include, but arenot limited to, visual rewards, such as animations, glowing or pulsatinggraphics, 3D images, lighting effects, badges, or the like; soundrewards, such as alerts, ringtones, music, voice, or the like;vibrations; or any combinations of rewards thereof.

In some examples, additionally or alternatively to displaying therewards in interface 7200, the device can individually display one ormore of the rewards. For example, FIGS. 73, 74, and 75 illustrate reward7302 being presented to the user for the user achieving their best run.In the illustrated examples, reward 7302 is being animated on thedisplay as being rotated into view until facing the user, as shown inFIG. 75. It should be appreciated that the rewards can be displayed andanimated on the display in any other desired manner.

In some examples, the rewards and/or workout details can be shared withone or more other users or one or more social networks. In theseexamples, the rewards and/or workout details can be automatically sharedor the user can be prompted to share individual achievements or workoutdetails. The device can communicate the achievement or workoutinformation directly to user devices associated with other users and/orservers for sharing on social networking websites using any wired orwireless technology (e.g., via a communication unit).

Achievement Sharing

FIG. 76 illustrates an example interface 7600 that can be displayed inresponse to a user request to share a workout received while interface7200 is displayed) or to share a reward (e.g., while interface 7300 isdisplayed). The request can include any type of user input, such as abutton press, a user contact having a characteristic intensity above anintensity threshold on a display of the device, tap or swipe on atouch-sensitive display, or the like. As shown in FIG. 76, interface7600 can include a list of potential recipients 7602 with which the usercan share the reward or workout information. In some examples, list 7602can include contacts from the user's contact list, social mediaservices, combinations thereof, or the like. The recipients in the listcan be based on a frequency that the user communicates with therecipient, a designation by the user that the recipient is a favorite,or the like. In some examples, one or more of the recipients in list7602 can include a text description of the recipient (e.g., a name,phone number, email address, etc.) and/or an image representing therecipient (e.g., social media logo, picture of the recipient's face,etc.) In response to a selection of one or more of the recipients inlist 7602, the device can communicate the selected reward and/or workoutinformation to the selected recipients. In some examples when a rewardis selected, an animated file can be transmitted to the recipient toallow the recipient to view the reward in a manner similar to that shownin FIGS. 73-75.

While the examples described above are associated with the running typeof workout, it should be appreciated that similar interfaces can bedisplayed for other types of workouts. Additionally, while specificinterfaces are shown and described, it should be appreciated that otherinterfaces can be used to display the recorded attributes of a user'sworkout. For example, FIG. 77 illustrates another exemplary interface7700 that can be displayed in place of any of the interfaces shown inFIGS. 60-65. As shown, interface 7700 can include a text description7702 of a current value of an attribute of the workout, a textdescription 7704 of the goal of the workout, and an indicator 7706similar to indicator 6006 showing the user's progress towards the goal.For example, text description 7702 indicates that the user has traveled1.25 miles and text description 7704 indicates that the user's goal isto travel 5 miles. Indicator 7706 is one-fourth complete, indicatingthat the user is 25% towards their goal. Additionally, indicator 7706includes lines of varying length, where the length of each linerepresents and attribute of the user's physical activity atcorresponding distances during the run. For example, the length of eachline can indicate the user's running intensity (e.g., speed, number ofCalories burned per unit time, etc.) at the various distances of theuser's run. As the user continues to run, indicator 7706 can becompleted in the clockwise direction using additional lines havingvarying lengths based on the user's running intensity.

In some examples, activity data received at block 4808 of process 4800can also be used by the physical activity application to perform any ofprocesses 1500 (e.g., at block 1504), 2200 (e.g., at block 2204), and4000 (e.g., at block 4004). In this way, a workout monitored using theworkout application performing process 4800 can be counted towards thephysical activity attributes monitored by the physical activityapplication. In other words, the activity data corresponding to aworkout monitored using process 4800 can also be used to update thevalues of the physical activity attributes being monitored by thephysical activity application. For example, Calories expended during arunning workout can be counted towards the Calories expended andrepresented by first portion 4102 a in interface 4100. Similarly, theminutes spent running during the workout can be counted towards theminutes of physical activity over the threshold intensity represented byfirst portion 4104 a in interface 4100.

Third Party Activity Data

In some examples, the electronic device performing process 1500, 2200,4000, or 4800 can receive activity data from an activity sensor ofanother electronic device (e.g., another wearable electronic device,sensor 602, 604, 606, or 608, or user device 722 or 724) or from anapplication running on the electronic device other than the physicalactivity application or the workout application (e.g., one of sensorapplications 613 or applications 617). Activity data from these sourcescan be referred to as “third party activity data.” In some examples, inresponse to receiving third party activity data, the electronic devicecan determine whether or not to use the third party activity data toupdate the values of the physical activity attributes being monitored bythe physical activity application. This can include determining whetherthe third party activity data represents a workout monitored using anapplication other than the workout application. If it is determined thatthe third party activity data represents a workout from an applicationother than the workout application, the electronic device can determinewhether a workout monitored using the workout application (e.g.,performing process 4800) exists during the same time as the third partyactivity data workout. If it is determined that the third party activitydata represents a workout and that there is no workout monitored usingthe workout application (e.g., performing process 4800), the electronicdevice can use the third party physical activity data to update thephysical activity attributes being monitored by the physical activityapplication. This can include performing any of processes 1500, 2200,and 4000 using the third party physical activity data as the physicalactivity received at blocks 1504, 2204, or 4004.

In some examples when third party physical activity data is used toupdate the physical activity attributes being monitored by the physicalactivity application, the electronic device can distinguish the thirdparty physical activity data from physical activity data received fromthe physical activity application or the workout application. In someexamples, this can be done by displaying portions (e.g., lines) of graph4306 or 4506 in the detailed view of interface 4300 or 4500 in adifferent color if the activity data used to generate the portionsincludes third party physical activity data. For example, as shown inFIG. 78, if third party physical activity data is received for a runningworkout monitored using a third party running application that lastedfrom 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., the lines of graph 4306 in interface 4300corresponding to 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. can be displayed in a different color.Additionally, a textual label 7802 identifying the source of the thirdparty physical activity data can be displayed. In the illustratedexample, label 7802 indicates that the source of the third partyphysical activity data is the “Running Application.”

Aggregated View of Activity and Workout Data

As discussed above, the electronic device (e.g., device 100, 300, 500,or 610) can be configured to monitor attributes of a user's physicalactivity and/or workouts performed by the user using process 1500, 2200,4000, or 4800. In some examples, data representing the monitoredphysical activity or workouts can be transmitted by the electronicdevice to another user device (e.g., user device 722 or 724) or to aremote database (e.g., database 716) to allow the data to be viewed bythe other user device. In some examples, the other user device canpresent the data representing the monitored physical activity orworkouts using the same interfaces as used by the electronic device(e.g., interfaces shown in FIGS. 17-21, 23, 25-39, 41-47, and 50-77), orcan present the data using different interfaces.

FIG. 79 illustrates an example process 7900 for displaying datarepresenting a user's physical activity and/or workouts according tovarious examples. In some examples, process 7900 can be performed by anelectronic device similar to user device 722 or 724, such as a mobilephone, tablet computer, laptop computer, desktop computer, or the like.At block 7902, the electronic device can receive historical physicalactivity data from another electronic device (e.g., device 100, 300,500, or 610) or from a remote database (e.g., user database 716). Thehistorical activity data can include attributes of a user's physicalactivity from one or more days monitored using a process similar toprocess 1500, 2200, or 4000 and/or attributes of one or more of theuser's workouts monitored using a process similar to process 4800. Thehistorical physical activity data can include any of the physicalactivity data received from the physical activity sensors, values of thephysical activity and workout attributes, summaries of the physicalactivity and workouts, or the like. Some operations in process 7900 maybe combined, the order of some operations may be changed, and someoperations may be omitted.

As described below, process 7900 provides intuitive ways to monitorattributes of a user's physical activity or inactivity and generate userinterfaces fir displaying the same. The process reduces the cognitiveburden on a user when monitoring attributes of the user's physicalactivity or inactivity, thereby creating a more efficient human-machineinterface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user tomonitor attributes of the user's physical activity or inactivity andgenerate user interfaces for displaying the same more quickly and moreefficiently conserves power and increases the time between batterycharges.

At block 7904, the electronic device can display an aggregated view ofthe historical physical activity data. FIG. 80 illustrates an exampledaily aggregated view 8000 that can be displayed by the electronicdevice at block 7904. As shown, aggregated view 8000 can include monthselection button 8002, day selection buttons 8004, activity interfacebutton 8010, achievement interface button 8012, and share button 8014.Aggregated view 8000 can further include activity indicator 8006 andfirst partition 8008 representing physical activity data correspondingto the day selected using day selection buttons 8004 (Oct. 29, 2014).Activity indicator 8006 can be similar to the activity indicator shownin FIG. 41. For example, activity indicator 8006 can include concentricrings, with the outer ring representing a daily number of activeCalories expended, the center ring representing a daily number ofminutes spent performing physical activity above a physical activitythreshold (e.g., an intensity above a brisk walk or 3 METs), and theinner ring can represent a number of hours in the day during which theuser stood for at least 60 seconds within a 90 second segment of time.Also shown in aggregated view 8000 is a portion of first partition 8008,which can include additional information associated with the physicalactivity data represented by the outer ring of activity indicator 8006.

Note that details of the processes described above with respect toprocess 7900 (e.g., FIG. 79) are also applicable in an analogous mannerto the other processes described herein. For example, processes 1500,1600, 2200, 2400, 4000, 4800, 8600, and 9200 may include one or more ofthe characteristics of the various methods described above withreference to processes 7900. For example, the activity data, activitytypes, displayed values and other elements described above withreference to processes 7900 optionally have one or more of thecharacteristics of the activity data, activity types, displayed valuesand other elements described herein (e.g., processes 1500, 1600, 4000,4800, 2200, 2400, 4000, 8600, and 9200). For brevity, these details arenot repeated.

Also shown in aggregated view 8000 is a portion of sixth summarypartition 8024, which can include summary information of the user'sdaily physical activity.

In some examples, third party physical activity data can be used togenerate the historical physical activity data shown in aggregated view8000. In these examples, the third party physical activity data can bedistinguished from physical activity data received from the physicalactivity application or the workout application within aggregated view8000. For example, this can be accomplished by displaying portions(e.g., lines) of the graphs shown in partitions 8008, 8016, 8018, or8020 in a different color if the activity data used to generate theportions includes third party physical activity data in a manner similarto that shown in FIG. 78, discussed above. Additionally, a textual labelidentifying the source of the third party physical activity data can bedisplayed alongside the identified portions of the graphs correspondingto the third party physical activity data.

In some examples, some or all of the partitions shown in aggregated view8000 can be selected by a user, causing the electronic device to displayan alternate view of the selected partition that displays theinformation contained in the selected partition in a different wayand/or contains additional or different information associated with thetype of physical activity data associated with the selected partition.FIG. 86 illustrates an exemplary process 8600 for displaying analternate view of a partition that can be performed after process 7900by an electronic device similar to user device 722 or 724, such as amobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, desktop computer, or thelike. At block 8602, a selection of a partition of the aggregated viewcan be received. The selection can be made by a touch on atouch-sensitive display, a user contact having a characteristicintensity above an intensity threshold on a display of the device, aswipe gesture performed across the touch-sensitive display, or the like.For example, a selection of partition 8008 can be received by detectinga swipe gesture from right to left across first partition 8008 ofaggregated view 8000, shown in FIG. 81. Some operations in process 8600may be combined, the order of some operations may be changed, and someoperations may be omitted.

As described below, process 8600 provides intuitive ways to monitorattributes of a user's physical activity or inactivity and generate userinterfaces for displaying the same. The process reduces the cognitiveburden on a user when monitoring attributes of the user's physicalactivity or inactivity, thereby creating a more efficient human-machineinterface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user tomonitor attributes of the user's physical activity or inactivity andgenerate user interfaces for displaying the same more quickly and moreefficiently conserves power and increases the time between batterycharges.

At block 8604, an alternate view of the selected partition can bedisplayed. Continuing with the example above, in response to detectingthe swipe gesture from right to left across first partition 8008 ofaggregated view 8000, shown in FIG. 81, an alternate first partition8708, shown in FIG. 87, can be displayed. Similar to first partition8008, alternate first partition 8708 can include a textual descriptionof the contents of the partition (“Move”), a numerical summary of theassociated physical activity data (“300/600 Calories”), and a visualindicator representative of the type of the associated physical activitydata (right-facing arrow that matches the visual indicator on the outerring of activity indicator 8006). Additionally, alternate firstpartition 8708 can include additional information in the form of adetailed breakdown of the user's daily Calorie expenditure. Whilespecific example information that can be included in alternate firstpartition 8708 is provided, it should be appreciated that any other typeof information can instead by display. First partition 8008 can again bedisplayed in response to a swipe gesture performed across alternatefirst partition 8708 from left to right.

Note that details of the processes described above with respect toprocess 8600 (e.g., FIG. 86) are also applicable in an analogous mannerto the other processes described herein. For example, processes 1500,1600, 2200, 2400, 4000, 4800, 7900, and 9200 may include one or more ofthe characteristics of the various methods described above withreference to processes 8600. For example, the activity data, activitytypes, displayed values and other elements described above withreference to processes 8600 optionally have one or more of thecharacteristics of the activity data, activity types, displayed valuesand other elements described herein (e.g., processes 1500, 1600, 22002400, 4000, 4800, 7900, and 9200). For brevity, these details are notrepeated.

In some examples, alternate views of other partitions of aggregate view8000 can be displayed in response to a selection similar to thatdescribed above for first partition 8008. For example, in response todetecting a swipe gesture from right to left across second partition8016 of aggregated view 8000, shown in FIG. 82, an alternate secondpartition 8816, shown in FIG. 88, can be displayed. Similar to secondpartition 8016, alternate second partition 8816 can include a textualdescription of the contents of the partition (“Exercise”), a numericalsummary of the associated physical activity data (“14/30 minutes”), anda visual indicator representative of the type of the associated physicalactivity data (double right-facing arrow that matches the visualindicator on the center ring of activity indicator 8006). Additionally,alternate second partition 8816 can include additional information inthe form of a detailed breakdown of the user's daily exercise minutes.While specific example information that can be included in alternatesecond partition 8816 is provided, it should be appreciated that anyother type of information can instead by display. Second partition 8016can again be displayed in response to a swipe gesture performed acrossalternate second partition 8816 from left to right. Similar alternateviews can be displayed for any of the other partitions and can includeany desired information formatted in any desired manner.

In some examples, in response to a selection of a different dayselection button 8004, activity indicator 8006 and partitions 8008,8016, 8018, 8020, 8022, and 8024 can be replaced with an activityindicator and partitions that reflect the historical physical activitydata corresponding to the selected day. For example, in response to auser selection of “T” from day selection buttons 8004, an activityindicator and partitions representing the historical physical activitydata from Oct. 28, 2014 can be displayed.

In some examples, the electronic device can display the historicalphysical activity data in different ways. For example, FIG. 89illustrates an exemplary process 8900 that can be performed afterprocess 7900 by an electronic device similar to user device 722 or 724to display a user's historical physical activity data by month. Someoperations in process 8900 may be combined, the order of some operationsmay be changed, and some operations may be omitted.

As described below, process 8900 provides intuitive ways to monitorattributes of a user's physical activity or inactivity and generate userinterfaces for displaying the same. The process reduces the cognitiveburden on a user when monitoring attributes of the user's physicalactivity or inactivity, thereby creating a more efficient human-machineinterface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user tomonitor attributes of the user's physical activity or inactivity andgenerate user interfaces for displaying the same more quickly and moreefficiently conserves power and increases the time between batterycharges.

At block 8902, a request to view a monthly aggregated view of thehistorical physical activity data can be received. In some examples, therequest can be made by a selection of month selection button 8002 inaggregated view 8000. At block 8904, the electronic device can displaythe monthly aggregated view of the historical physical activity data. Insome examples, the electronic device can display a monthly aggregatedview similar to monthly aggregated view 9000, shown in FIG. 90. Asillustrated, monthly aggregated view 9000 can include year selectionbutton 9002 for selecting a different month to view, activity interfacebutton 8010, achievement interface button 8012, and share button 8014.Monthly aggregated view 9000 can further include an activity indicator9006 for each of the days of the presently selected month (October).Activity indicator 9006 can be similar to activity indicator 8006 andthe activity indicator shown in FIG. 41 and can reflect the values ofthe represented physical activity attributes. In some examples, eachactivity indicator 9006 can include concentric rings, with the outerring representing a daily number of active Calories expended, the centerring representing a daily number of minutes spent performing physicalactivity above a physical activity threshold. (e.g., an intensity abovea brisk walk or 3 METs), and the inner ring can represent a number ofhours in the day during which the user stood for at least 60 secondswithin a 90 second segment of time on the corresponding day. Monthlyaggregated view 9000 advantageously allows a user to quickly view theamount of physical activity performed each day during the month.

Note that details of the processes described above with respect toprocess 8900 (e.g., FIG. 89) are also applicable in an analogous mannerto the other processes described herein. For example, processes 1500,1600, 2200, 2400, 4000, 4800, 7900, and 8600 may include one or more ofthe characteristics of the various methods described above withreference to processes 8900. For example, the activity data, activitytypes, displayed values and other elements described above withreference to processes 8900 optionally have one or more of thecharacteristics of the activity data, activity types, displayed valuesand other elements described herein (e.g., processes 1500, 1600, 2200,2400, 4000, 4800, 7900, and 8600). For brevity, these details are notrepeated.

In some examples, as shown in FIG. 91, the electronic device can displayweekly goals 9102 for one of the physical activity attributesrepresented by a ring of activity indicators 9006 within monthlyaggregated view 9000. For example, weekly goals 9102 can include thedaily Calorie expenditure goal for the week and a percent change fromthe previous week's goal. In some examples, weekly goals 9102 can bedisplayed in response to a swipe gesture performed from left to rightacross monthly aggregated view 9000.

FIG. 92 illustrates an example process 9200 for displaying physicalactivity data based on an orientation of the device according to variousexamples. Process 9200 can be performed after process 8900 by anelectronic device similar to user device 722 or 724. Some operations inprocess 9200 may be combined, the order of some operations may bechanged, and some operations may be omitted.

As described below, process 9200 provides intuitive ways to monitorattributes of a user's physical activity or inactivity and generate userinterfaces for displaying the same. The process reduces the cognitiveburden on a user when monitoring attributes of the user's physicalactivity or inactivity, thereby creating a more efficient human-machineinterface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user tomonitor attributes of the user's physical activity or inactivity andgenerate user interfaces for displaying the same more quickly and moreefficiently conserves power and increases the time between batterycharges.

At block 9202, a change in orientation of the device can be detected.For example, a gyroscope and/or an accelerometer within the user devicecan indicate that the orientation of the device has been changed fromportrait to landscape. In response to a detected change in orientationby a threshold amount, the process can proceed to block 9204.

At block 9204, a graph view of the historical physical activity data canbe displayed. In some examples, the graph view can be similar to graphview 9300, shown in FIG. 93. Graph view 9300 can include a line graphrepresentation 9302 of one of the attributes represented by a ring ofactivity indicators 9006. In the illustrated example, the attribute caninclude the daily number of Calories expended. Interface 9300 canfurther include “New Goal” labels identifying when the user's dailyactivity goal changed. Interface 9300 can further include monthindicator 9308 identifying the month corresponding to the displayedphysical activity data, monthly physical activity summary 9304indicating the total number of active Calories expended during themonth, and monthly workout summary 9306 indicating the total number ofworkouts recorded during the month.

Note that details of the processes described above with respect toprocess 9200 (e.g., FIG. 92) are also applicable in an analogous mannerto the other processes described herein. For example, processes 1500,1600, 2200, 2400, 4000, 4800, 7900, and 8600 may include one or more ofthe characteristics of the various methods described above withreference to processes 9200. For example, the activity data, activitytypes, displayed values and other elements described above withreference to processes 9200 optionally have one or more of thecharacteristics of the activity data, activity types, displayed valuesand other elements described herein (e.g., processes 1500, 1600, 2200,2400, 4000, 4800, 7900, and 8600). For brevity, these details are notrepeated.

In some examples, a user input can be applied to the displayed graph tocause a display of a value of line graph representation 9302 at ahorizontal position (e.g., a day) corresponding to the location of theuser input. For example, FIG. 94 shows a user input applied at location9402. In response to detecting this user input, the electronic devicecan display the date (Wednesday, October 15) and the associated value(582 Calories) for the selected day. Additionally, in some examples, ifa workout was recorded on the selected day, a brief description of theworkout can also be displayed (3 mile run). In some examples, a userinput can be continuously applied to the displayed graph and moved in ahorizontal direction to scrub through values of line graphrepresentation 9302. For example, in response to detecting that the userinput received at location 9402 is moved in the left direction, thecircle marker displayed over line graph representation 9302 can beanimated such that it appears to move along the line graphrepresentation 9302 at horizontal positions corresponding to the currenthorizontal position of the user input. Similarly, the displayed valuecan change to reflect the value of the data set represented by linegraph representation 9302 at the horizontal position of the user input.

In some examples, in response to a selection of achievement interfacebutton 8012, the device can display an achievement interface 9500similar to that shown in FIG. 95. As shown, interface 9500 can includereward icons 9502 corresponding to various achievements that can beobtained by the user, such as best workout, fastest run, longest run,exercising for 5 consecutive days, etc. In response to a selection of areward icon 9502, the device can display additional informationassociated with the reward, such as the date that the reward wasobtained, information about the workout during which the workout wasobtained, or the like. In some examples, the rewards obtained by theuser can be displayed in color, while rewards not yet obtained by theuser can be displayed as being grayed-out. The device can displayaggregated view 8000 in response to a selection of activity interfacebutton 8010.

In some examples, some or all of the information displayed in aggregatedview 8000 or achievement view 9500 can be shared with one or more otherusers or one or more social networks in response to a selection of sharebutton 8014. In some examples, the device can display a list of shareoptions in response to a user selecting share button 8014. For example,the list of share options can include the option to share the displayedinformation via SMS, email, a cloud sharing service, one or more socialnetworks, or the like. In response to a selection of one of the shareoptions, the device can transmit some or all of the informationdisplayed on the device to the selected destination.

Activity Goal Setting Assessment

In some examples, a summary interface can be displayed at the end ofeach week. The summary interface can include a text description of theuser's performance over the week with respect to one or more goals. Forexample, the summary interface can indicate the number of days duringthe week that the user met or exceeded their daily expended Calorie goal(e.g., represented by the outer ring of activity indicator 4101 or8006). In addition, the electronic device can calculate a new goal forthe user based on their performance during the week and can present thenew goal to the user. The user can accept the new goal as the goal to beused for the next week or can modify the goal up or down based on theirpreference. In some examples, during the first 3 weeks that the goal isbeing calculated, the goal can be calculated using the table shown inFIG. 96. For example, if the user achieved their goal during 1 or 2 daysduring the first or second week, the goal can be lowered to the averageof the lowest 4 days. If the user achieved their goal during 1 or 2 daysduring the third week, the goal can be lowered by 10%. If the userachieved their goal during 3 days during any of the first, second, orthird weeks and their daily average for the week was 75% or more of thegoal value, the goal can be lowered by 10%. If the user achieved theirgoal during 3 days during the first or second week and their dailyaverage for the week was less than 75% of the goal value, the goal canbe lowered to the average of the lowest 4 days. If the user achievedtheir goal during 3 days during the third week and their daily averagefor the week was less than 75% of the goal value, the goal can belowered by 10%. If the user achieved their goal during 4 days during thefirst or second week and their daily average for the week was 75% ormore of the goal value, the goal can remain the same. If the userachieved their goal during 4 days during the third week and their dailyaverage for the week was 75% or more of the goal value, the goal can beincreased by 10%. If the user achieved their goal during 4 days duringthe first or second week and their daily average for the week was lessthan 75% of the goal value, the goal can by lowered to the average ofthe lowest 3 days during the week. If the user achieved their goalduring 4 days during the third week and their daily average for the weekwas less than 75% of the goal value, the goal can be lowered by 10%. Ifthe user achieved their goal during 5-6 days during the first week, thegoal can remain the same. If the user achieved their goal during 5-6days during the second week, the goal can be raised by 10%. If the userachieved their goal during 5-6 days during the third week, the goal canremain the same. If the user achieved their goal during 7 days duringthe first or second week and their daily average for the week was 125%or more of the goal value, the goal can be increased to the average ofthe 7 days. If the user achieved their goal during 7 days during thethird week and their daily average for the week was 125% or more of thegoal value, the goal can be increased by 10%. In some examples, afterthe first 3 weeks, the goal can be lowered by 10% if the number of goaldays achieved over the last 3 weeks is equal to 9 or less, the goal canremain the same if the number of goal days achieved over the last 3weeks is equal to 10-14, and the goal can be increased by 10% if thenumber of goal days achieved over the last 3 weeks is equal to 15-21.While a specific algorithm is provided for calculating the new goalvalue, it should be appreciated that other algorithms can be used tocalculate the new goal value based on the historical performance of theuser.
